Keep On Dreaming - Big Country

Born too soon for a future

Born too poor for love

Born too far from the warmth of the sun

Or a place in the heavens above

It’s a cold, cold night in the circus

A colder night in the zoo

Light up the fires down in Carton Town

Where the feet and the fingers are blue

I said keep on dreaming

Hey, hey, keep on dreaming

I hear talk of chances

Chances gone to waste

Well, it’s hard to see opportunity

With a hand drawn across your face

We never chose the doctor

We never chose the school

We never chose the family

Or the winning smile of the fool

I said keep on dreaming

Keep on dreaming

Like the life you have is the life you want

Keep on dreaming

Some of us dream in the morning

Some of us simply will curse

Others will put their defenses to work

Protecting the bad from the worse

A band plays in the valley

A nightmare in every head

And people all sing hallelujah

When they mean heaven help us instead

Ah, keep on dreaming

Keep on dreaming

Like the life you have is the life you want

Keep on dreaming

Ah, keep on dreaming

Keep on dreaming

Like the life you have is the life you want

Keep on dreaming

Keep on dreaming

Keep on dreaming

Like the life you have is the life you want

Keep on dreaming

Keep on dreaming

Keep on dreaming

Like the life you have is the life you want

Keep on dreaming
