Hold on to your dreams   Your dreams are the place where you want to be   I hold on to my dreams    That's the one thing they can't take away from me   Everyday, we struggle against mediocrity   And we can't pay the rent   'Cause the money's all spent   And you really need to get free      Day after day we stare in the face of adversity   You get poked you get shoved   By some guy up above    That's just the way it goes      Riding on the night train   Sometimes you feel it's all a waste of time   Riding on the night train   The enemy is just a state of mind      I feel like a freak   Every moment I work in the factory   Got the wolf at my door   And I don't even know what we do this work for   But I still have a dream, just my girl and me   All we need's a change of scene   They can say what they like   But someday we might   Swim the river, swim to freedom   Take a boat and sail to Eden      Riding on the night train   Sometimes you feel it's all a waste of time   Riding on the night train   The enemy is just a state of mind
