Cara, Irene - The Dream (Hold On To Your Dream) Lyrics






I've been chasing dreams for so long
Just one step behind and then they're gone
Illusions of love would come and go
I guess you have to hurt before you grow
And everybody knows
Never let go of the, never let go of the dream

I always seem to lose what I thought was mine
And many times I tried to leave it behind
Deep inside, hope was still alive
Deep inside, dreams will never die
That is why we're movin' closer to the truth

It's really great for me to be here
I've won over the pain and the fear
It's been so very hard through the years
Been looking through a rainbow of tears
And still I never really let go of the dream

Sometimes I saw my life just falling apart
And all the rejection tearing at my heart
Deep inside, hope was still alive
Deep inside, dreams will never die
If you try there'll be so much more for you

It's really great for me to be here
I've won over the pain and the fear
It's been so very hard through the years
Been looking through a rainbow of tears
And still I never really let go of the dream

We can all be free, we hold the key
If we can see what we wanna be
Life's never easy, you get no guarantees
Why not give your all and see what you can find?

    The Dream (Hold on to Your Dream)
    Irene Cara

    I've been chasing dreams for so long
    Just one step behind and then they're gone
    Illusions of love would come and go
    I guess you have to hurt before you grow
    And everybody knows

    Never let go of the, never let go of the dream

    I always seem to lose what I thought was mine
    And many times I tried to leave it behind
    Deep inside, hope was still alive
    Deep inside, dreams will never die
    That is why we're movin' closer to the truth

    It's really great for me to be here
    I've won over the pain and the fear
    It's been so very hard through the years
    Been looking through a rainbow of tears
    And still I never really let go of the dream

    Sometimes I saw my life just falling apart
    And all the rejection tearing at my heart
    Deep inside, hope was still alive
    Deep inside, dreams will never die
    If you try there will be so much more for you

    It's really great for me to be here
    I've won over the pain and the fear
    It's been so very hard through the years
    Been looking through a rainbow of tears
    And still I never really let go of the dream

    We can all be free, we hold the key
    If we could see what we wanna be
    Life is never easy you get no guarantee
    When I give you own
    and see what you can buy

    It's really great for me to be here
    I've won over the pain and the fear
    It's been so very hard through the years
    Been looking through a rainbow of tears
    And still I never really let go of the dream

    It's really great for me to be here
    I've won over the pain and the fear
    It's been so very hard through the years
    Been looking through a rainbow of tears
    And still I never really let go of the dream

    It's really great for me to be here
    I've won over the pain and the fear
    It's been so very hard through the years
    Been looking through a rainbow of tears
    And still I never really let go of the dream

  79. G.... O....

    This was a very positive, uplifting album that worked well as a complement to Flashdance. It is too bad for Irene Cara that this came out after the movie, or the album would have sold way more.

  80. N.... ....

    i wanna be with the ever beautiful irene cara!!!

  81. h.... ....

    i like this song..they play this on that movie DC Cab at the end..it's nice

  82. j.... ....

    Dude this song is so brilliant. It plays at the end of DC Cab and the emotion freaks me out. It's that heavy. Sometimes it's overwhelming to listen to an awesome song that's all about following your dreams. It kills you and inspires you at the same time. I want to live this song.
