      Leann Rimes singing 'Light the Fire Within' is my favorite Ollympic performance. No one will ever match it.

    This Olympics meant so much to us Americans. In the shadow of 9/11, this was our moment to focus on something else for a change. This performance encapsulated everything we needed to hear in order to start new.

      In 2002 after seeing this Opening Ceremony (I was 20), I remember promising myself that if the Olympics ever returned to the US in my lifetime, I'd go to it. Now we're getting 2 and even though I'll be in my 50s, I will without a doubt be going to Salt Lake in 2034. What's even more interesting (to me) is that this actually parallels what happened in 1996 and 2002, it'll be 6 years between LA 2028 and Salt Lake in 2034 lol. I do hope to go to LA also, but if I had to pick between the 2, I'd pick the Winter Olympics since I tend to enjoy them a bit more lol.

    LeAnn Rimes - Acenda o Fogo Interno
    Não tenha medo
    Quando a escuridão cair
    Pois ha uma luz que brilha
    Dentro de todos nós
    Apesar desse mundo
    Se tornar tão frio
    Quando alcançamos la no fundo
    Encontramos nosso calor
    Porque ha uma chama que queima
    Em cada coração
    E é a vontade que temos
    Que acende a faísca
    Uma vez em cada vida
    Ha um chance de ficar distante
    Nós podemos mostrar ao mundo
    O nosso melhor
    Revelar o que esta em nosso coração
    Então a historia continua e a gloria
    Nunca vai acabar
    A inspiração acende o fogo interno
    E se caímos
    Não vamos ficar la embaixo
    Vamos nos levantar
    E usar a força que encontramos
    E vamos nos levantar
    Como campeões
    Cada obstaculo
    Vamos superar
    E se ficarmos fortes
    Então nossos corações vão nos mover
    Cada coração queima com desejo
    A inspiração acende o fogo interno

      It was simply a group of local youngsters. My sister was along them. No particular training or organization other than growing up Mormon and singing a lot at church etc.
      Now if you’re referring to the choir of adults, that was the Mormon tabernacle choir.

    lyrics
    LeAnn Rimes - Light The Fire Within
    Have no fear
    When darkness falls
    'Cause there's a light that shines
    Within us all
    Although this world
    Can turn so cold
    When we reach inside
    We find our warmth
    'Cause there's a flame that burns
    In every heart
    And it's the will we have
    That lights the spark
    Once in every lifetime
    There's a chance to stand apart
    We can show the world
    Our very best
    Reveal what's in our heart
    So the story goes and glory
    Never will end
    Inspiration lights the fire within
    And if we fall
    We won't stay down
    We will get back up
    And use the strength we've found
    And we will rise
    Like champions
    Every obstacle
    We'll overcome
    And if we just stay strong
    Then our hearts will move us on
    Each heart there burns desire
    Inspiration lights the fire within

    Both Mariah Carey and Bonnie Tyler became LeAnn Rimes' idols because I wonder the song was composed by both Jim Steinman and Walter Afanasieff and Rimes influenced and combined the vocals of rockable Tyler and soulful Carey and I wonder she sang both Total Eclipse of the Heart and Hero.
