The dream (hold on to your dream)

I´ve been chasing dreams for so long
Just one step behind and then they´re gone
Illusions of love would come and go
I guess you have to hurt before you grow
And everybody knows
Never let go of the, never let go of the dream
I always seem to lose what I thought was mine
And many times I tried to leave it behind
Deep inside, hope was still alive
Deep inside, dreams will never die
That is why we´re movin´ closer to the truth
It´s really great for me to be here
I´ve won over the pain and the fear
It´s been so very hard through the years
Been looking through a rainbow of tears
And still I never really let go of the dream
Sometimes I saw my life just falling apart
And all the rejection tearing at my heart
Deep inside, hope was still alive
Deep inside, dreams will never die
If you try there´ll be so much more for you
It´s really great for me to be here
I´ve won over the pain and the fear
It´s been so very hard through the years
Been looking through a rainbow of tears
And still I never really let go of the dream
We can all be free, we hold the key
If we can see what we wanna be
Life´s never easy, you get no guarantees
Why not give your all and see what you can find
Just one step behind and then they´re gone
Illusions of love would come and go
I guess you have to hurt before you grow
And everybody knows
Never let go of the, never let go of the dream
I always seem to lose what I thought was mine
And many times I tried to leave it behind
Deep inside, hope was still alive
Deep inside, dreams will never die
That is why we´re movin´ closer to the truth
It´s really great for me to be here
I´ve won over the pain and the fear
It´s been so very hard through the years
Been looking through a rainbow of tears
And still I never really let go of the dream
Sometimes I saw my life just falling apart
And all the rejection tearing at my heart
Deep inside, hope was still alive
Deep inside, dreams will never die
If you try there´ll be so much more for you
It´s really great for me to be here
I´ve won over the pain and the fear
It´s been so very hard through the years
Been looking through a rainbow of tears
And still I never really let go of the dream
We can all be free, we hold the key
If we can see what we wanna be
Life´s never easy, you get no guarantees
Why not give your all and see what you can find
