Hiking and climbing mountains inspired me into this life philosophy - LIFE IS A MOUNTAIN. Every step you make leads to summit. You may be forced to turn around or change routes for any cause, never know. But, stay focused and look forward. The mountain will be there always. Pace yourself and reach "your" summit, for every step counts. Enjoy the view and feed your soul as it comes along. Life is a journey, not a destination. Life is like climbing a mountain.....
This song rocks! Olivia and John Farnham's Dare To Dream is such a beautiful, powerful and inspirational duet. 👍👍
Performed at the Sydney 2000 Olympics Opening Ceremony, 15 September 2000 in Stadium Australia, Sydney.
Dare To Dream is among the very songs that echo Olivia's own life and spirit.

Rev. James Edward Cleveland (1931 – 1991) was an American gospel singer, musician, and composer. He was known as the King of Gospel and a driving force behind the creation of the modern gospel sound by incorporating traditional black gospel, soul, pop, and jazz in arrangements for mass choirs. Appearing on hundreds of recordings, he won four Grammy Awards and was the first gospel musician to earn a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 1984.
