When I was just a child
I had big dreams on my mind
Crossed the whole world over
In my mind so many times
I was miles away
Between the sunset and the moon
Holding onto make-believe
I hope I get there soon

Hold me closer, don't let go
To the truth that we all know

Up the creek without a paddle
Down the street without a name
Lying eyes are wicked
I will never be the same
Loneliness is hollow
It suits nicely to your frame
Tired bones lay dying
As it all goes down the drain

Live your dreams, don't let go
Hold on closer
To the truth that we all know

Faded dreams in worn-out jeans
Keeps us smiling all the same
Harsh winters fade away
And summer's all ablaze
The scent of a baby's head
And a twinkle of their toes
Melts your heart to buttermilk
In ways you'll never know

Live your dreams, hold on tight
And don't let go
Of the truth that we all know
