“Incredible”
By Celine Dion
Whole world is watching us now
It's a little intimidating
Since there's no way to come down
Lets give them something amazing
Let’s make them remember
Using one word
(Chorus)
Incredible, incredible
Let’s make them remember
We were incredible
Simply incredible
We even counted us out
We weren't sure we'd make it
But we've learned no matter
What they dish out
It's nothing, we can take it
We'll go down in history
They'll describe our love as
(Chorus)
