Standing in the eyes of the world
David Gates - Standing in the Eyes of the World
Looking back all the years
all the sacrifice
If you wanna be the best
you've got to pay the price
Learnt it from the very start
just how hard you must try
Cause if you don't spread your wings
then you can't fly
Look at where you are today
Did you ever think that you
would came all this way
(chorus)
Now you're standing in
the eyes of the world
only moments away
from what can be
there's a passion in the
hearts of a few
ever waiting inside to be set free
When the time comes
and your spirit takes flight
and you reach into your soul and
live it with all of your might
And there's no surprise
that you're standing in the eyes of the world
Many have hopes and dreams
that will not come true
And all of them left behind
now they will live in you
Everyone wants to stay
just the day in the sun
But sometimes there is only room for one
Never ever been so near
Now the chance is finally here
(chorus)
Now you're standing in
the eyes of the world
only moments away
from what can be
There's a passion in the
hearts of a few
Ever waiting inside to be set free
When the time comes
and your spirit takes flight
and you reach into your soul and
live it with all of your might
And everyone tries
when you're standing in the eyes of the world
Standing in the eyes of the world
-this is a sister post for the latest post on my team blog. For those who know me well, no doubt you know how long and hard I've been looking for this song. For those who liked the song/never knew an english version of the song existed, enjoy, and I hope you feel as strongly for this song as I do a a sportsman..

Tan Jo! hope u see this! i have the SAVA 07 photos ready. u wanna have them? i pass to u sometime soon? add me! ss_fa@hotmail.com
Oo so did this song come first or the Ella one come first?
shifa : thanks bro, mind picking some of the nicer ones and email them to me? msn not very guai atm
ck : I have no idea, they came out at around the same time. although personally, I feel that somehow the lyrics of the english version seems to flow more naturally compared to the one by Ella (which is a bit awkward) - hinting that this could've come first, but I could be wrong.. anyone else with any insight on the matter?
ooo so sad.... i actually like the ella one cz of the background and hmm...I don't know I do like the song (Malaysia Boleh?!) I think the song was written by the person there (I forgot his name and can't remember it) cause I saw it under the "composer" when I looked up the song for Ella...
if that made sense at all....
Hi, i used to work with SUKOM98, was the organising committee for the 1998 commonwealth games held in KL, the song was composed specially for theme song of the games, sung in two languages, which one of it was in malay by Ella...
