"Dream On" lyrics

Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines in my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It goes by like dusk to dawn

Isn't that the way?
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay
Isn't that the way?
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay

I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know everybody's sin
We got to lose to know how to win

Half of my life's in books' written pages
I've lived and I've learned from fools and from sages
You know it's true
All the things come back to you

Sing, sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream until your dream come
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream until your dream come
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream until your dream come true
Dream on, dream on
Dream until your dream come true

I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know everybody's sin
We got to lose to know how to win
