Title: Dare To Dream
Artist: Olivia Newton-John & John Farnham


I am my own believer
In my heart the reason
I will follow the light from within
I'm not afraid of weakness
I'm gonna taste the sweetness
Of the power not to give in
Oh I will see it through
I believe this is my moment of truth
 
 
Dare to dream
Dare to fly
Dare to be the heir the chosen one to touch the sky
Dare to reach
Dare to rise---
Find the strength to set my spirit free
Dare to dream
 
 
I will go the distance
Embrace resistance
I will lay my soul on the line
When the wait is over
And the hunger has spoken
If I give my all,I will shine
Oh I will see it through
I believe, this is my moment of truth
 
 
Dare to dream
Dare to fly
Dare to be the hier the chosen one to touch the sky
Dare to reach
Dare to rise---
Find the strength to set my spirit free
Dare to dream,Oooh ooh

John Peter Farnham, AO, formerly billed as Johnny Farnham, (born 1 July 1949) is an English-born Australian pop singer. He was a teen pop idol from 1964–1979, and since then he has forged a career as an adult contemporary singer.[1] His career has mostly been as a solo artist but he replaced Glenn Shorrock as lead singer of Little River Band during 1982–1985.[2][3] In September 1986 his solo single, "You're the Voice" peaked at #1 on the Australian singles charts.[4][5] The associated album, Whispering Jack, held the #1 position for a total of 25 weeks,[4][5] and is the highest-selling album in Australian history.[6] Both the single and the album had Top Ten success internationally including #1 in Sweden.[7][8]

Domestically he has remained one of Australia's best-known performers with a career spanning over 40 years,[1] and he is the only Australian artist to have a number one record in five consecutive decades (echoing Sir Cliff Richard in the UK) with singles: "Sadie (The Cleaning Lady)" in 1967, "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" in 1969/1970, and "Age of Reason" in 1988;[4][5] and albums: Age of Reason, Chain Reaction in 1990, Then Again in 1993, Anthology 1: Greatest Hits 1986-1997 in 1997, 33⅓ in 2000 and The Last Time in 2002.[4][5][9]

Farnham has been recognised by honours and awards including 1987 Australian of the Year, 1996 Order of Australia, and 19 Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Awards including his 2003 induction into the Hall of Fame.[9][10][11][12] From 1969 he was voted by TV Week readers as the 'King of Pop' for five consecutive years.[13][14][15][16] Aside from his recording career, Farnham performed on stage with lead roles in Australian productions of Charlie Girl, Pippin and 1992's Jesus Christ Superstar.[1][16] He starred in his own TV series and specials including It's Magic and Bobby Dazzler and as a guest on numerous other popular shows such as Countdown and Hey Hey It's Saturday.[1][17][18] Australian rock historian, Ian McFarlane described him as "the most successful solo artist in the history of Australian rock and pop [...] Farnham has retained an affable sense of humour and a simple, unpretentious 'everyman' charm which also makes him one of the most respected celebrities in Australian entertainment history."[1]
