For a cappella S-A-T-B Chorus
Words & Music by Carol Worthey
Performance Time 4:04
Lyrics: English / French

Who says dreams don't come true?! Carol created the words, music and choral arrangement of this stirring song during a dream -- on the plane flight to a candlelight vigil on behalf of Religious Freedom. Two days later on May 25th, 1985, the song was world-premiered by the Miracle Choir at a Multi-faith Church Service in Portland, Oregon. Since then it has been sung in the United States, Germany and France for the cause of Human Rights. This song combines classical voicings with an infectious pop feel. The closing "Amen" will raise goosebumps!
