Gregory Charles
THERE’S A LIGHT—CETTE FLAMME
Through the ages and all through the night
We have always sought to find the light
And the fire within, the burning and desire to be one,
To be free.
There’s a light that shines in our land.
There’s a torch we hold in our hand.
There’s a city, a people
That stands on guard for thee.
Cette flamme, ce phare boréal,
Cet espoir d’un monde ideal
Brûle aujourd’hui et demain
Embrasera tout le genre humain.
Higher. Stronger. Faster.
Aï yoki onkim ya shè Éran yo yéh raö nonn.
Higher. Can you do it?
Fire for eternity.
Cette flamme, ce phare boreal,
Cet espoir d’un monde idéal
Nous donnera la force et le désir
De faire brûler l’amour en nous.
There’s a light that shines in our land.
There’s a torch we hold in our hand.
There’s a people, a city, a moment in time.
Now’s the moment to stand on guard for thee.
Now’s the moment to be
Inspirés par cette flame.
Now’s the moment
To be free.

"When I think that hundreds of thousands of choir
members across the country can unite their voices
to celebrate the union of peoples, it's just beautiful"
"THE MEANING OF THE SONG
Charles wrote and composed There's a light/Cette flamme in French, English and some parts in Huron. The theme of light mainly inspired Charles: “Light is a recurring theme in art history. It represents the will to know, to understand the world and others. The flame, like a lighthouse, becomes the catalyst, the world’s vector for change. This is what the world’s athletes inspire. It is also the promise that the world will be a better place if all men stand by each other. Light also implies that good triumphs over evil.” said Charles.
The introduction of There's a light/Cette flamme is a call from the north to participate in a modernized choral arrangement inspired from the introduction to Greek plays in ancient times. The second part of the song is simply pure energy — a simulation of the act of running and the hope to harness the power and wisdom of fire to bring humanity closer to perfection and freedom."
