“Dare To Be” (From The Motion Picture Cabrini) Lyrics:
Vivo di te
Abbi cura di ogni pianto
Ti cercherò
nell’oblio chi si è perso
Abbandonato al tuo coraggio cado anch’io
fiore d’inverno
We dare to free
Visions unseen
New worlds beyond me
Sea to shining sea
With us we bring
A voice that sings
Forgotten harmonies
Even the darkest night
Beholds the light that guides you
Senti come cambia il vento dell’umanità
lode all’aurora
With us we bring
A voice that sings
Forgotten harmonies
Abbandonato al tuo coraggio cado anch’io, fiore d’inverno
Senti come cambia il vento dell’umanità lode all’aurora
Vivo con te nell’incanto
Senti
I dare to dream
New worlds beyond me
