From the corners of the world they come
The bravest and the best
To write their names in history
And to face the final test

And they gather as they've always done
With one purpose and the one aim
To give their souls and bodies to
The challenge of the game

Olympia, Olympia
Light the flame
And let it burn
Olympia, Olympia
You will teach
And we will learn
We will learn
In your name
We have come
To honor courage
More than glory
More than fame.
We will learn
If we can
The triumph of the spirit
Is the victory of man

And they reach out to each other
To make us all aware
That we celebrate our brotherhood
In the struggles that we share

Olympia, Olympia
Light the flame
And let it burn
Olympia, Olympia
You will teach
And we will learn
We will learn
In your name
We have come
To honor courage
More than glory
More than fame.
We will learn
If we can
The triumph of the spirit
Is the victory of man

And the truth of what you stand for
Will endure when we are gone
Just as long as people dare
To dream
Olympia, Olympia, Olympia
You live on, you live on

Olympia, Olympia
Light the flame
And let it burn
Olympia, Olympia
You will teach
And we will learn
We will learn
In your name
We have come
To honor courage
More than glory
More than fame.
We will learn
If we can
The triumph of the spirit
Is the victory of man

Sssh
Don't talk
Don't talk
Just say it
With your body

Say it with your body
Baby, let the moves you make
Do all your talking
Let your body tell me
What'cha got in mind
Say it with your body
Show me what you want
And skip the conversation
Baby, let your body lay it on the line

Slowly drowning in the music
Go with how it feels without a word
Get your fantasies in motion
If you got somethin' hot to tell me
That I've never heard

Say it with your body
Baby, let the moves you make
Do all your talking
Let your body tell me
What'cha got in mind
Say it with your body
Show me what you want
And skip the conversation
Baby, let your body lay it on the line

You and me keep getting closer
Reachin' for each other with our eyes
Baby, save your breath for later
Let me listen to your body
'Cause a body never lies

Say it with your body
Baby, let the moves you make
Do all your talking
Let your body tell me
What'cha got in mind
Say it with your body
Show me what you want
And skip the conversation
Baby, let your body lay it on the line

We're electric Shadows
Touching in the dark
We're a promise of a fire
Abut to spark
We're dancing on the edge
Of breaking free
So, baby if you wanna say
Tonight belongs to me

Say it with your body
Baby, let the moves you make
Do all your talking
Let your body tell me
What'cha got in mind
Say it with your body
Show me what you want
And skip the conversation
Baby, let your body lay it on the line

Say it!
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Say it with your body
Say it!
Ohh, ohh
Say it with your body
Say it with your body
Say it!

. . .


You're back in my arms
Now you're back where you belong
But baby i still recall those crazy days
We found new ways of hurting each other

The magic was gone
now it's come back just as strong
But now that we found ourselves a second chance
it doesn't mean that we'll have another

Please let's give a little more this time
let's try to keep in mind our love is on the line
Darling please, let's give it all we got
This could be our last shot
It's so no matter what
Let's remember to be kind
Give a little more (give a little more)

We had is a dream
And we let it get away
Somebody up there look at us and knew
That me and you should still be together

Know what love means
and Im learning day by day
No matter how good the feelings feels improves
We gotta work and make it better

Please let's give a little more this time
let's try to keep in mind our love is on the line
Darling please, let's give it all we got
This could be our last shot
It's so no matter what
Let's remember to be kind

Give a little more, give a little more this time
Let's try this time to be the best that we could be
Let's try to make same old moments stays that we make
and make it work
baby let's give a little more, give a little more this
time

. . .


The sound of one song
Can be heard on the winds of this mornin'
It's a prayer that this world we were born in
Will survive until it can be ours

(In) the sound of one song
All the children of earth stand united
Now a candle of peace has been from afar
And its message outshines every star

This planet must understand
That we're a family of man
And we won't let tomorrow slip
Through our hand

Our voice will be strong
'Cause it comes from the heart and the spirit
And we sing so the whole world will hear it
And believe in the sound of one song

. . .


It's nothing I can put my finger on
But it's there, I swear
It's not somethin' I'm imaginin'
Each time you call
I know I'll get your "working late routine" again

Is there someone I should know about?
Tell me why do I have this doubt?

I'm sure your alibis are water tight
And you're where you have to be tonight
Oh, but I know you're slipping away from me
I'm know your alibis are water tight
And you're where you say you are tonight
But honey, I can tell
I know the pattern much too well
I don't fool so easily
You're slippin' away from me

Your telephone service says you're out again
Somewhere out there
You've got another rendezvous
I know the way you work
You'll be someplace where no one can check up on you

You think you're in the clear
But don't forget
That's exactly the way we met

I'm sure your alibis are water tight
And you're where you have to be tonight
Oh, but I know you're slipping away from me
I'm know your alibis are water tight
And you're where you say you are tonight
But honey, I can tell
I know the pattern much too well
I don't fool so easily
You're slippin away from me

Is there someone I should know about?
Tell me why do I have this doubt?

I'm sure your alibis are water tight
And you're where you have to be tonight
Oh, but I know you're slipping away from me
I'm know your alibis are water tight
And you're where you say you are tonight
But honey, I can tell
I know the pattern much too well
I don't fool so easily
You're slippin away from me

I'm sure your alibis are water tight
And you're where you have to be tonight
Oh, but I know you're slipping away from me . . .

I don't want to go
Where the feeling can't happen
It's a call for the wild tonight
Pick you up at eight
In the flash of the city lights

Master Dancer
Teach us how to move
Master Dancer
Doctor of the groove

Can't hold it back
About to snap
It's just a dance attack
Take a shot
Your body's hot
You've had a dance attack

I don't want to run
Where the people aren't crazy
Just a nail to be driven in
I don't need the flack
Tired of being invaded
When the beat in the street begins

Master Dancer
Make me feel alive
Here's your answer
Jump into the fire

Can't hold it back
About to snap
It's just a dance attack
Your head's a spin
Your out is in
You've had a dance attack
Take a shot
Your body's hot
You've had a dance attack
You need to shake
Your heart awake
It's just a dance attack

Master Dancer
Teach us how to move
Master Dancer
Doctor of the groove

Can't hold it back
About to snap
It's just a dance attack
Your head's a spin
Your out is in
You've had a dance attack
Take a shot
Your body's hot
You've had a dance attack
You need to shake
Your heart awake
It's just a dance attack

Kisses waking us up deep in the night
Like dreaming
Kisses taking us softly in flight
Like drifting
Shadows hiding us under a shawl
Like falling
Kisses wandering over us all
Like loving

Kisses finding their way from the start
Like magic
Learning all of our secrets by heart
Like music
Holding on till the world disappears
Like lasting
Kisses sweet with the taste of our tears
Like loving

All there is to know
All there is to say
All there is
Is our feeling forever
This way

In your arms I could spend all my time
Like living
Losing sense of all reason or rhyme
Like floating
After all, all that matters is we're together
Kisses making us warm with delight
Kisses taking us softly in flight
Kisses waking us deep in the night with love

. . .


We lived in a world of beautyful lies
Where you're fool enough to think you're wise
Feeling so sure
Love will endure

Like a shining star against the night
We saw love as clear as black and white

We looked to a dream to carry us through
But that's more than dreams can ever do
Promises made
Easily fade
And there's nothing left to do or say
We just close the door and walk away

'Cause in real life
It's never what it seems
In real life
We struggle in between
The hard truth
And the promise of a dream
In real life
Oh, it's never what it seems
In real life
Oh, in real life

Now, I've seen the light and you know the score
Love can't blind us like it did before
Swear we won't make
The same old mistake
But no matter how we try to be
We're just seeing what we want to see

And in real life
It's never what it seems
In real life
We struggle in between
The hard truth
And the promise of a dream
In real life
Oh, it's never what it seems
I real life
Oh, in real life

In real life
It's never what it seems
In real life
We struggle in between
The hard truth
And the promise of a dream
In real life
Oh, it's never what it seems
I real life
Oh, in real life

'Cause in real life
It's never what it seems
In real life
We struggle in between
The hard truth
And the promise of a dream
In real life
Oh, it's never what it seems
I real life
Oh, in real life

. . .


Andei sozinho
Cheio de mágoa
Pelas estradas e caminhos sem fim
Tão sem ninguém
Que pensei até em morrer
Em morrer

Mas vendo sempre
Que a minha sombra
Ia ficando cada instante mas só
Muito mais só
Sempre a caminhar
Para não mais voltar

Eu quis morrer
Então eu via
Que eu não morria
Eu só queria
Morrer de muito amor por ti

E hoje eu volto
Na mesma estrada
Com esperança infinita no olhar
Para entregar
Todo um coração
Que o amor escolheu
Para morrer
Morrer de amor
