Susan Boyle - Britains Got Talent

Came across this inspiring story in the news -- i think it was CNN -- a few hours ago, courtesy of our overhanging silent TV in the office. :) (Yeah, no sounds; just watch.)

You'd be amazed by how talented this unemployed and unassuming 47-year old lady is. Everyone was very cynical and ready to laugh her off the stage. Then when she sang I Dreamed a Dream (from Les Miserables), she blew everyone's minds... The surprise in Simon Cowell's face was priceless! :)

Guess you're never too old to reach for your dreams. :)

Check out the video here. (Unfortunately, embedding was disabled by default, so, just click on the link. :)

Enjoy!

BTW, here are the lyrics, taken from the above link as well (contributed by NewHotdox).

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.

Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used
And wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung
No wine untasted.

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dream to shame.

And still
I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms
We cannot weather...

I had a dream my life would be
So different form this hell I'm living
so different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.
