Lyrics

Seems like I never knew
How to fake it or play it safe
This long and hungry road
Dragged me down a way that I could not have known
Living outside the lines
Made me feel alive

Dream on
Never give up
Don’t let the struggle take you down
Stand strong
Find the truth in who you are
Its your life
Dream on

Looking back
On what I’ve done
All I’ve lost and all I’ve gained
A heavy price is what I paid
And left a heart or two along the way
But the faith living in me
It makes me believe

Dream on
Never give up
Don’t let the struggle take you down
Stand strong
Find the truth in who you are
Its your life
Dream On

One life’s all you have to live
So give it all you’ve got to give
You can’t stop when you’ve come so far
