Life is short and goes by fast
Follow the dream, yeah, follow the dream, yeah
As much as you want it, nothing lasts
Follow the dream, yeah, follow the dream, yeah
Bobbling along like I never belong
Running a dream, yeah, running a dream, yeah
Maybe one day I’ll write a hit song
Living the dream, yeah, living the dream, yeah
I’m hearing what you mean
You think I’m in a pipe dream
Chasing the dream, yeah, just chasing the dream, yeah
Well, it’s very extreme
but it’s more than it seems
Chasing the dream, yeah, just chasing the dream, yeah
Born with a gift
Born with a gift
Born with a gift that feels like a curse
Plenty could be better, but plenty could be worse
Work everyday to make your way
Follow a dream, yeah, follow a dream yeah
In everyday you pay just to play
Running a dream, yeah, running a dream
I started out with accordion at age four
Living a dream, yeah, living a dream, yeah
Then I got a guitar and blew down doors
Chasing a dream, now, just chasing the dream, now
I want the world to hear my sound
Chasing the dream, now, chasing the dream
It’ll heal you baby, make the lost feel found
Chasing the dream, now, chasing the dream, now
Born
It’s in my fear
With a gift
I know it’s near
Born
I can’t let go
With a gift
Why do I do it?
Born
It’s in my fear, when I question my ability
With a gift
I know it’s near, then I question my stability
Born
I can’t let go, but I gotta let it go anyway
With a gift
Why do I do it? I don’t know I do it everyday
Everyday
When you never got yur shot at the starting line
and no on e wants to hear you whine how you’re wasting your time
Follow a dream, yeah, follow your dream yeah
Chasing the dream, yeah, Chasing the dream, yeah
I put it all aside and hide my pride
and keep my smile about a mile wide
