The joys we shared when we were young
The magic carpets that we rode
The friends we made, the hills we climbed
All this and more has shaped our lives.

I know we'll reach the sky tonight
Look and see how far we've come
Standing in our brightest light
This is what the dream has done.

The peace that comes from knowin' love
The certain way I see you smile
The happiness we've come to know
Whenever we outride the storm.

I know we'll reach the sky tonight
Look and see how far we've come
Standing in our brightest light
This is what the dream has done.

And when the night brings on the stars
We'll be there, we'll remember
We've reached across, we've touched a spark
The story's just beginning.

I know we'll reach the sky tonight
Look and see how far we've come
Standing in our brightest light
This is what the dream has done.

I know we'll reach the sky tonight
Look and see how far we've come
Standing in our brightest light
This is what the dream has done.

Standing in our brightest light
This is what the dream has done.

I know we'll reach the sky tonight
Look and see how far we've come
Standing in our brightest light
This is what the dream has done.

I know we'll reach the sky tonight
Look and see how far we've come
Standing in our brightest light
This is what the dream has done.

Standing in our brightest light
This is what the dream has done.
