Big Country - Keep On Dreaming lyrics

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
