Because your dreams may often be for real

I watched this show quite a bit when I was growing up. It was a staple of Canadian TV along with Bizarre and Live It Up! What I remember the most about the show was the intro which included clips of people getting to experience their dreams such as skydiving. And they had a man with a great big voice belting out a very corny and memorable theme song: "The Thrill of a lifetime is we have to give. A chance to be, a chance to see. It's the life you want to live! The Thrill of a lifetime...because your dreams may often be for real". Not an exact rendition...but went kind of like that.
