"About A Dream" lyrics

"About A Dream"

Well, dogs chase cars, and men chase dreams
The dog is the more practical it seems
But a dream can help a person, to get up and out of bed
And for that I still believe there is a lot that can be said

About a dream, up in your mind
Something you wish, hoping to find
About a dream, something you want
Maybe you need, maybe you don't
About a dream

Well, seeds take root, but fruit takes time
And a dream can't grow if it dies on the vine
So you gotta keep it going, with a steady ray of sun
And a daily drop of rain, and you could well get something done

About a dream, up in your mind
Something you wish, hoping to find
About a dream, something you want
Maybe you need, maybe you don't
About a dream

All in favor say yeah (yeah)
All in favor say fine (fine)
Take your dream anywhere, it's all in your mind

Well, you chase yours, and I'll chase mine
And I hope our dreams meet up on the boulevard sometime
And I hope we both are happy, if the dreams we dream come true
And just the same we don't just end up bitter, sad, and blue

About a dream, up in your mind
Something you wish, hoping to find
About a dream, something you want
Maybe you need, maybe you don't
About a dream
