Everyone says that you're wasting your time   That thing that you're chasing ain't worth a dime   They're juts blowin' in the wind   Yeah what do they know   They probably told that to Dylan a long time ago      There's a kid in the ghetto his back to the wall   Stars in his eyes and a basketball   Yeah, down in the streets you either do or ya die   But he's bound and determined to fly      Have faith in yourself and believe that you can   It's precious as breath to a dyin' man   It really don't matter what tomorrow might bring   As long as you're livin' the dream      A pair of young lovers from a far away land   Build a new life with two hard working hands   They'll pay any price so their family   Can live in the land of the free      Have faith in yourself and believe that you can   It's precious as breath to a dyin' man   It really don't matter what tomorrow might bring   As long as you're livin' the dream      I play my piano for crowds big and small   I'm 40 years old and I've seen it all   Three minutes away from my name up in lights   But I'm singing my heart out tonight      Have faith in yourself and believe that you can   It's precious as breath to a dyin' man   It really don't matter what tomorrow might bring   As long as you're livin' the dream      As long as you're breathing   Just keep on believing   You are the reason you're livin' the dream
