Lisa J. Ling (Chinese: 凌志慧; pinyin: Líng Zhìhuì; born August 30, 1973) is an American journalist, best known for her role as a co-host of ABC's The View (from 1999–2002), host of National Geographic Explorer, reporter on Channel One News, and special correspondent for the Oprah Winfrey Show and CNN. She is the older sister of journalist Laura Ling.
Ling was born in Sacramento, California. Her parents divorced when she was 7 years old, and her younger sister Laura was 4. Ling's father Doug is a Chinese immigrant, born in the 1920s; her mother Mary Mei-yan (née Wang) hails from Tainan, Taiwan, and formerly served as the head of the Los Angeles office of the Formosan Association for Public Affairs. Following the divorce, she and her sister, Laura, were raised in the city of Sacramento, California by their father. She graduated from Del Campo High School in 1991.
Ling started in television when she was chosen as one of the four hosts of Scratch, a nationally-syndicated teen magazine show based in Sacramento. At 18, she joined Channel One News as one of their youngest reporters and anchors. Among her roles was war correspondent, including assignments in Iraq and Afghanistan. She has won several awards for her reporting and documentaries. She attended the University of Southern California. Lisa Ling is fluent in Spanish.
Oprah Winfrey (born Orpah Gail Winfrey; January 29, 1954) is an American media proprietor, talk show host, actress, producer, and philanthropist. Winfrey is best known for her self-titled, multi-award-winning talk show, which has become the highest-rated program of its kind in history and was nationally syndicated from 1986 to 2011. She has been ranked the richest African-American of the 20th century, the greatest black philanthropist in American history, and was for a time the world's only black billionaire. She is also, according to some assessments, the most influential woman in the world.
Winfrey was born into poverty in rural Mississippi to a teenage single mother and later raised in an inner-city Milwaukee neighborhood. She experienced considerable hardship during her childhood, claiming to be raped at age nine and becoming pregnant at 14; her son died in infancy. Sent to live with the man she calls her father, a barber in Tennessee, Winfrey landed a job in radio while still in high school and began co-anchoring the local evening news at the age of 19. Her emotional ad-lib delivery eventually got her transferred to the daytime-talk-show arena, and after boosting a third-rated local Chicago talk show to first place, she launched her own production company and became internationally syndicated.

Pull back the curtain
Open up the blind
Let the light on the window
I can't close for all this time
I wanted to forget the pain of falling
That you, maybe, remember now
Dreams weren't always made to be broken
Chorus:
When you hold me in your arm
Remind my heart
Of the way love should be
In the moment I let go
Remind my heart
That you're really there for me
Like the sun, breaking through the dark
Remind my heart
Ohh, can it be this simple
Can it be this true
All the fears I've held so long
Swept away by you
Slowly now, you bring me to my senses
And I can feel the warmth again
Of the flame I'd thought I've lost forever
(Repeat Chorus)
What I missed so long (Remind my heart)
Of the tenderness and the feeling you remind (Remind my heart)
How love can make you strong
Oh, baby, you're makin' me strong
(Repeat Chorus)
Ohh, In the moment I let go (Remind my heart)
Remind my heart, remind my heart
That you're really there for me
Remind my heart
Of the way this love should be
Remind my heart
Remind my heart
