The Dream Lyrics - Singles - Irene Cara

I've been chasing dreams for so long 

Just one step behind and then they're gone 

Illusions of love would come and go 

I guess you have to hurt before you grow 

And everybody knows 

Never let go of the, never let go of the dream 

I always seem to lose what I thought was mine 

And many times I tried to leave it behind 

Deep inside, hope was still alive 

Deep inside, dreams will never die 

That is why we're movin' closer to the truth 

It's really great for me to be here 

I've won over the pain and the fear 

It's been so very hard through the years 

Been looking through a rainbow of tears 

And still I never really let go of the dream 

Sometimes I saw my life just falling apart 

And all the rejection tearing at my heart 

Deep inside, hope was still alive 

Deep inside, dreams will never die 

If you try there'll be so much more for you 

It's really great for me to be here 

I've won over the pain and the fear 

It's been so very hard through the years 

Been looking through a rainbow of tears 

And still I never really let go of the dream 

We can all be free, we hold the key 

If we can see what we wanna be 

Life's never easy, you get no guarantees 

Why not give your all and see what you can find?
