When I was young and my whole life in front of me,
No need to think about my future being the key
To open unlocked doors, everything just seemed to flow,
I never thought about money to be made,
As long as I could play the music of my day,
Travel round the world, giving it my heart and soul.
I was driven by dreams and not by my fear,
On the crest of the wave year after year,
And though my life came crushin' down or so it seems,
I'm still standing here, driven by dreams.
Now I'm a man with responsibility,
I think too much about what lies ahead of me,
The more the doors stay closed the more I wanna find a way,
It's just a desperation of a restless mind,
A lack of confidence I lose somewhere in time,
To a dying world, I have so much more to say.
I am driven by dreams and not by my fear,
On the crest of the wave year after year,
And though my life came crushin' down or so it seems,
I'm still standing here, driven by dreams.

I am driven by dreams and not by my fear,
On the crest of the wave year after year,
And though my life came crushin down, or so it seems,
I'm still standing here, driven by dreams.
