Reach - Gloria Estefan

Some dreams
live on in time forever
Those dreams
you want with all your heart

And Ill do whatever it takes
Follow through with the promise I made
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
Im gonna be stronger
Know that Ive tried my very best
Id 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 Ill go the distance this time
Seeing 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
Im gonna be stronger
Know that Ive tried my very best
Id put my spirit to the test
If I could reach

這是96年奧運的主題曲,當時就很喜歡,這幾年來也不時重聽著首歌。Gloria的歌聲兼具厚實與清亮,搭配歌詞中充滿了對於夢想的追尋與付出,完美地符合我心中對於奧運的景仰與期待。

上週(2008.6.20左右)午餐時看到玉山盃青棒中桃園縣對台東縣的比賽,平常不愛看棒球的我,竟然也看的熱血沸騰起來。

看那些一心求勝的球員們如何專注地投球、揮棒、奔跑,臉頰上落下的汗滴一顆顆都背負著多少日子以來的辛勞。平日的努力,就為了此時此刻在球場上一決勝負。眼神裡只有打好這場比賽的決心,而心無旁鶩。這就是追求夢想的究極表現了吧?! ── 專注地朝向目標前進,勝與負都是盡力之後才要考慮的事情!

在那個充滿感動的下午,驀地又想起這首Reach。Gloria精力充沛的歌聲,與輕飄細雨的棒球場,一同在我心中留下深刻的印象。
