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
till 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
till 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
till 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).
