lyrics

I’ve got a dream in my pocket and it wants to go and play;
I’ve got a dream in my pocket, and it wants to have its day.
I’ve got a dream in my pocket and it really needs a walk;
I’ve got a dream in my pocket, and it’s learning how to talk.
I’ve got a dream.

I’ve got a song in my backpack and it wants to fly out;
I’ve got a song in my backpack and it wants to jump and shout.
I’ve got a song in my backpack and it wants to shake and bake;
I’ve got a song in my backpack and it’s keeping me awake.
I’ve got a song.

I’ve got a fire that I’m holding in my hand;
And I hold it out in front to remind me who I am.
And I reach up in the air, hold it up to the sky,
So I can follow that flame until the day that I die.
I’ve got a fire.

I have a bird on my shoulder, and he whispers in my ear;
I have a bird on my shoulder and he tells me “never fear”.
I have a bird on my shoulder and he whistles a sweet tune;
I have a bird on my shoulder and he watches cartoons.
I have a bird.

I have a power in my soul, when I let it shine through;
I have a power in my soul, that can lift me when I’m blue.
I have a power in my soul, and it’s holding me up;
I have a power in my soul, and it fills my cup.
I have a power.

I’ve got a fire that I’m holding in my hand;
And I hold it out in front to remind me who I am.
And I reach up in the air, hold it up to the sky,
So I can follow that flame until the day that I die.
I’ve got a fire.
