You always wanted to be a singer People told you, you was a dead ringer
For Marvin Gaye and one of these days You´d be singing at the Hollywood Bowl
Well, one thing led to another It was a full time job just tryin´ to cover your assets You had some bad debts Y´know the Boulevard took its toll
You still got some fire in your belly Stand back and don´t try to tell me It can´t be done cuz son of a gun Never give up Never give up Never give up on a dream - no
Woah-oh-oh
I had a dream, believe it or not You wanted to be a cop Walk the beat and keep the streets safe for everyone
Ah, but your dream went left and you went right The next thing you know you´re workin´ at night Wearin´ six-inch heels instead of a badge and a gun - oh
You´ve still got some cards on the table I swear, as long as you´re able To draw a breath just do your best Never give up on a dream
Gotta keep your eye on the prize The brass ring looks just your size No excuse no alibis
Never give up Never give up Never give up on a dream
It´s just a dream, y´know what I mean? You got to seize the opportunity and go to extremes To find your dance now Make a stance now And empower your hour of chance now
So go an´ chase it Don´t ya waste it It´s like a pie in the sky, you can almost taste it Never give up on a dream - oo!
You´ve still got some fire in your belly
Stand back and don´t try to tell me It can´t be done cuz son of a gun Never give up on a dream - no
Kick you out in the cold, you´ll make it Squeeze you into a mold, you´ll break it If there´s a fork in the road, you´ll take it Never give up Never give up, never Never give up on a dream - ow
