lyrics

Remember growing up strong in the schoolyard making my plans
Teacher said son you're gonna be the one I hope you understand
That when you grow up you're gonna change the world you're gonna be the greatest man
So you gotta dream dream dream dream just as big as you can
You know you gotta dream dream dream dream just as big as you can

Remember sitting up late on a school night drying my tears
Mama said son you're not the only one who's ever had those fears
So give it some time and soon you'll find that the way to ease the years
Is you gotta dream dream dream dream 'till it all comes clear
You know you gotta dream dream dream dream 'till it all comes clear

Love spins the whole world around, it brings out the best in all the things that we've found
Hope is the light that we use, to guide us through anything we put our hearts into, our hearts into

Remember playing outside in the sandbox spelling my name
A little voice cried don't you waste your time it'll only fade away
But I know inside we've gotta leave behind a bigger brighter day
So we've gotta dream dream dream dream 'till we're old and grey
You know we gotta dream dream dream dream 'till we're old and grey

Dream, dream
Oh we gotta dream
Yeah we gotta dream
