When I was a kid
I still see what we did
We were always on the run
It would seem
That you had a dream
Then you could be anyone
I remember one day
An old man passed my way
He looked at me and he said:
Boy don't you cry
You reach for the sky
Boy you look straight ahead!
If you know what you want
And you know how to get it
Don't let any man
Let you forget it
If you know what you need
You won't regret it
Dream on
That's what I say
You dream on
Till love comes your way
You dream on
And as time went by
As a man and I
Would love and I would hide
Love to me
Was so easy so free
With no concerning, no burning inside
And in one of those nights
In the city lights
As the boys and me, we ran wild
She looked at me
And these words I can see
As plain as when I was a child
If you know what you want
And you know how to get it
Don't let any man
Let you forget it
If you know what you need
You won't regret it
Dream on
That's what I say
You dream on
Till love comes your way
You Dream On
So if you love and you lose
And you pay love's dues
And at times love don't work out
Don't you cry, Jack
And don't you look back
You let these words ring out
If you know what you want
And you know how to get it
Don't let any man
Let you forget it
If you know what you need
You won't regret it
Dream on
That's what I say
You dream on
Till love comes your way
You dream on
