Never Give Up On a Dream

You always wanted to be a singer People told you, you was a dead ringer For Marvin Gaye and one of these days You'd be singing at the Hollywood Bowl Well, one thing led to another A full-time job just tryin' to cover your assets You had some bad debts You know the Boulevard took its toll You still got some fire in your belly Stand back and don't try to tell me It can't be done, 'cause son of a gun Never give up Never give up Never give up on a dream, no I had a dream, believe it or not You wanted to be a cop Walk the beat and keep the streets safe for everyone Ah, but your dream went left and you went right The next thing you know you're workin' at night Wearin' six-inch heels instead of a badge and a gun, oh You've still got some cards on the table I swear, as long as you're able To draw a breath, just do your best Never give up on a dream Gotta keep your eye on the prize The brass ring looks just your size No excuse, no alibis Never give up Never give up Never give up on a dream It's just a dream, you know what I mean? You got to seize the opportunity and go to extremes To find your dance now Make a stance now And empower your hour of chance now So go chase it (chase it) Don't ya waste it (waste it) It's like a pie in the sky, you can almost taste it Never give up on a dream, ooh You've still got some fire in your belly Stand back and don't try to tell me It can't be done 'cause son of a gun Never give up on a dream, no Kick you out in the cold, you'll make it Squeeze you into a mold, you'll break it If there's a fork in the road, you'll take it Never give up Never give up, never Never give up on a dream Oh-oh-oh-oh Never give up on a dream
