DOHA, Dec. 1 (Xinhua) -- Following are the lyrics of the song "Reach Out"
sung by Indian singer Sunidhi Chauhan at the opening ceremony of the 15th Asian
Games in Doha on Friday evening:
One hope
One people, land and sea
United and free forever
Today
We've come from round the world
To find this precious pearl together
Before the world we stand
Here in this ancient land
Reaching, stretching, hoping, sharing all that we have
Reach out, touch the sky
I have everything inside of me and I am going to fly
Reach out, higher and higher
With the courage in our eyes
It is peace that we will find, I am devoted
This is our moment
Reach Out
We'll rise
The peace within our hearts
Will open up our path, our story
One dream
Uniting old and new
Will lead us to our truth and glory
Note: The song, composed by Australian songwriters Paul Begaud and
Vanessa Corish, is a tribute to Olympic ideals of aspiration, harmony and
peaceful competition.
