DREAM ON

This song was the first single released by Aerosmith. Steven Tyler had been working on this on and off for about 6 years, and was able to complete it with the help of the rest of the band. Tyler was quoted as saying "It's about the hunger to be somebody: Dream until your dreams come true."

I recall hearing this song playing over the closing credits of the movie Miracle, about the US Olympic Hockey team. In the credits, they explain what has happened to each member of the team since they won the gold medal. It happens to be quite an inspiring movie for all you in sports/CCAs.

Try to follow the words if you've never heard it before.

DREAM ON

Everytime that I look in the mirror

All these lines on my face gettin clearer

The past is gone

It went by like dust to dawn

Isn't that the way

Everybodys got their dues in life to pay

-

I know what nobody knows

Where it comes and where it goes

I know its everybodys sin

You got to lose to know how to win

-

Half my life is in books written pages

Live and learn from fools and from sages

You know its true

All the things come back to you

-

Sing with me, sing for the years

Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears

Sing with me, if its just for today

Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away(x2)

-

Dream on, dream on, dream on

Dream yourself a dream come true

Dream on, dream on, dream on

Dream until your dream come true

Dream on, dream on, dream on...

-

Sing with me, sing for the years

Sing for the laughter and sing for the tears

Sing with me, if its just for today

Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
