lyrics

We had some dreams, didn’t we, didn’t we;
some big ideas filling me, filling me.
I’d be someone, wouldn’t I, wouldn’t I?
I’d change the world, couldn’t, couldn’t I?
What happened to those dreams?

When we were young it was all very new.
There was nothing that we could not do.
Fly to the moon, drive a train, sail the seas.
Or write a song that would bring world peace.
I don’t know what happened to those dreams.

Hey, don’t say you’re through. Don’t give up on you.
Keep your sights up high. We’re not born just to die.
Now you have the power to make that true. You do.

We got so busy, gotta work every day.
Staying ahead doesn’t leave time to play.
A list of things I gotta do, gotta do.
Instead of what I wanna do, wanna do.
What happened to those dreams?

Hey, don’t think you’re through. Don’t give up on you.
Keep your sights up high. We’re not born just to die.
Now you have the power to make that true. You do.

My dreams have changed – that’s OK, that’s OK.
Some weren’t realistic anyway, anyway.
Don’t think I’ll ever fly to the moon,
but I might still write a decent tune.
It doesn’t matter what happened to those dreams.

No, don’t think I’m through. I still have things to do.
I keep my sights up high. I’m not born just to die.
Now I have the power to make that true. Yes, I do.
