The plan, I never had a lot but I had plans
They took me down the road to where I am
I know now, I'd do it all again

The dream was always just a step ahead of me
Too far to touch but close enough to see
There was always somewhere else I had to be
The dream, there's nothing more important than the dream

Without one, nothing matters much, it seems
It always keeps me goin' where the winds of doubts are blowin'
What always keeps me goin' is the dream

The song, it takes too many years to write the song
Where every word is just where it belongs
You wonder why on earth it takes so long
You shine if only for the very shortest time
The latest thing in melody and rhyme
And in the end, you'd give up your last dime

For the dream was always just a step ahead of me
Too far to touch but close enough to see
There was always somewhere else I had to be
The dream, there's nothing more important than the dream

Without one, nothing matters much, it seems
It always keeps me goin' where the winds of doubts are blowin'
What always keeps me goin' is the dream
Oh, it always keeps me goin' when the winds of doubt are blowin'
What always keeps me goin' is the dream
