“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
