Oh, when I was a kid, I still see what we did
We were always on the run
It would seem if 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 'til love comes your way
You dream on
And as time went by, as a man I
Would love and I would hide
Love to me was so easy, so free
With no concern and no burning inside
And then one of those nights in the city lights
As the boys and me, we ran wild
She looked at me and his words I could 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 'til love comes your way
You dream on, yeah, yeah
Hey
Oh, oh, yeah
Dream on
You better dream on
Oh, you dream on
So if you love and you lose and you pay life's dues
And at times life 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 'til love comes your way
You dream on, yeah, yeah
Oh, you dream on
Oh, you dream on
Oh, you dream on
Better dream on
Oh, oh, you dream on
You better, you better dream on
Oh, you dream on, yeah
Oh, you dream on
(Dream on)
