(Springfield)

You always felt you had a destiny, yeah

You wouldn't bow down to the gods

Of money and power, baby

You burned bright to shed your light

All over the world

You had a plan and it was just a

matter of time now

Here today, what happened to that dream

Don't tell me it's over

I still smell the fire



[Chorus:]

Stand up and hold on to your dream

Maybe this is your moment

Stand up and hold on to your dream

You know no one can take it

There is a path it's always been yours

And you have the right of passage

Signed in blood and sealed in tears

Sending you a message

Across the miles and thru the years

Stand up (and be there) and hold on to

your dream

With some faith and conviction

(some faith and conviction)



Take a good look, you don't like

what you see, no

You just don't come this far

And never get scarred, baby

It all seemed like fate

The big dreams weren't hard to make

Way back then

Something pure about that

Suffer for art, passion and pain

Standing here

What happened to those dreams

Don't tell me they're over

While your heart is still beating



[Chorus]
