The Dream (hold On To Your Dream)

Irene Cara

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?
