Lyrics to Songs

Reach - by Gloria Estefan

This is my favorite! This song was specially written by Gloria for the closing ceremonies of the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta. It's a very powerful song. It perfectly describes Tara's total dedication to her ultimate dream, the Olympic gold medal.


Some dreams live on in time forever
Those dreams you want with all your heart
And I'll do whatever it takes
Follow through with the promise I make
Put it all on the line
What I hoped for at last would be mine

If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
From that one moment in my life
I'm gonna be stronger
Know that I've tried my very best
And put my spirit to the test
If I could reach


Some days are meant to be remembered
Those days we rise above the stars
So I'll go the distance this time
See it more the higher I climb
That the more I believe
All the more that this dream will be mine


If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
From that one moment in my life
I'm gonna be stronger
Know that I've tried my very best
Put my spirit to the test
If I could reach

If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
From that one moment in my life
I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be so much stronger, yes I am
I put my spirit to the test
If I could reach
If I could if I could if I could reach
I'd reach I'd reach I'd reach so much higher


Oh Tara - by The Knack

Oh tara oh oh
You squeeze my heart
And then you let it go
Ooh tara my oh my
I can't help falling
No i wouldn't try

I can't explain no i don't know how
And all my talking means nothing now
It only frightens you anyhow
You'll never know what you've done to me
The agony and the ecstasy
Ooh tara it's alright
But i miss you tonight

I don't expect you to understand
The thrill i feel when i hold your hand
But this is something i never planned
You're thinking of me as just a friend
My heart is breaking i can't pretend
Ooh tara it's for real
I can't help how i feel


The World is New - by Save Ferris

I was sitting and awaiting
Just thinking, contemplating my life when I heard the phone
I picked up the receiver
And I did not believe her
When I heard a voice say you're not alone

(chorus):

When I am down and I am blue
All I have to do
Is close my eyes and think of you
And the world is new

Life was getting hectic
And things were unexpected
When I first received your call
But now it is the best thing
That filled up what was missing
And now my life is envied by all

(chorus)

I was sitting and awaiting
Just thinking, contemplating my life when
I heard the phone
I picked up the receiver
And I did not believe her
When I heard a voice say you're not alone

(chorus)


Journey to the Past - From Anastasia

Heart don't fail me now!
Courage, don't desert me!
Don't turn back now that we're here.
People always say
Life is full of choices,
No one ever mentions fear!
Or how the world can seem so vast
On a journey. . . to the past

Somewhere down this road
I know someone's waiting.
Years of dreams just can't be wrong!
Arms will open wide,
I'll be safe and wanted
Fin'lly home where I belong.
Well starting now, I'm learning fast
On this journey -- to the past

Home, Love, Family.
There was once a time
I must have had them too.
Home, Love, Family.
I will never be complete
Until I find you. . .

One step at a time,
One hope, then another
Who knows where this road may go --
Back to who I was,
On to find my future,
Things my heart still needs to know.

Yes, let this be a sign!
Let this road be mine!
Let it lead me to my past
And bring me home. . .
At Last
