Lyrics
Lemme tell ya a story
About a place far far away
And a long time ago
It started in the bedroom
With a turntable and guitar
Learning every solo
Listening to rock stars
Learning from rock stars
Trying to be rock stars
It grew into a band
With guitar, vocals, bass and drums
Playing at house parties
Out families would come
All our friends would come
Brand new fans would come
And we were Dreaming Big
Dreaming of a bigger life
Rocking front pages
And all the biggest stages
We were Dreaming Big
Somehow we had it in our heads that
If anyone else could do it
We could do it
So we went to work
We got some paying gigs
On Friday and Saturday night
Rocking the local digs
Everything felt so right
We were doing something right
Rock and roll all night
And we were Dreaming Big
Dreaming of a bigger life
We knew we could do it
We said there’s nothing to it
We were Dreaming Big
When it’s a long way up
It’s easier to stay down
Dreaming of places far away
Safe in those stomping grounds
Reality Check!
Just because you can dream it
Doesn't mean you can do it
If you're not willing to do what it takes
Some youthful inclinations
Don’t match reality
Some folks get homesick
For familiarity
Hometown security
We parted amicably
But I held on to the dream
For places yet unseen
And we were Dreaming Big
Dreaming of a bigger life
You gotta work harder
And be a self starter
When you’re Dreaming Big
And we were Dreaming Big
Dreaming of a bigger life
If you wanna rise above it
You really gotta love it
When you’re Dreaming Big
And we were Dreaming Big
Dreaming of a bigger life
If you really wanna see it
First you must believe it
When you’re Dreaming Big
Dreaming Big
Dreaming Big
Dreaming Big
Dreaming Big
Dreaming Big
Dreaming Big
Dreaming Big
Dreaming Big
Dreaming Big
And, that's the way it goes
Goodnight folks
