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
