I've followed in the footsteps   of millions before me   And found it hard to accept   that life holds no guarantees      I've finally settled on the fact   to take things as they come   But there's one thing I won't settle for   I won't lose faith and run       I got to believe in dreams   I got to believe in dreams   I got to believe in me...       Often life's not fair, I know   there's been times in my past   when grief, like water, overflowed   and poured out of my glass       Today I take the bad with good   At night I've learned to cope   No matter what the future brings   I won't give up my hope       I got to believe in dreams   I got to believe in dreams   I got to believe in me...       Dream a dream for you   Dream a dream comes true   If only for you      I got to believe in dreams   I got to believe in dreams   I got to believe in me...
