A virtual choir helps connect ordinary people together. Many people do not have close friends or contacts who have the same interest in music. Many others do not have the chance to join a local choir. A virtual choir enables them to add their voices to those of other individuals and become part of the global community. It has proved to be a positive influence on the lives of many people. As one virtual choir member said, “Music helps me to ... forget my problems. With music, I become someone else.”

Sing with one voice
Dream It Possible
I will run I will climb I will soar.
我奔跑,我攀爬 我要飞翔。
I'm undefeated
我所向披靡
Jumping out of my skin pull the chord
跳出我的桎梏 拨弄琴弦
Yeah I believe it
是啊 我坚信。
The past is everything we were don't make us who we are
历史决定曾经 但并不能决定现在的你和我
so I'll dream until I make it real and all I see is stars
所以我会不懈梦想直到梦变成真 直到窥见漫天星光
It's not until you fall that you fly
不再畏惧跌倒 直到你展翅高飞的那一刻
When you dreams come alive you're unstoppable
当梦想成真 你便无可阻挡
take a shot chase the sun, find the beautiful
挥着双翅 追随太阳 寻找美好
We will glow in the dark turning dust to gold
我们会在黑暗中耀发光芒 点石成金
And we'll dream it possible
我们期盼梦想成真
Possible
梦想成真
And we’ll dream it possible
我们期盼梦想成真
