Dreams Don't Die Easy

Dreams don't die easy
They cling to each hope
Cherish good memories
Manage somehow to cope
With pain and misfortune
And contrary minds
Some dreams stand the tests of time

My first dream was baseball
When I was a boy
My passion was winning
Pitching, my toy
So my rise through the big leagues
Would be so fast and so fine
You know, I still have that dream sometimes

And I dreamed of adventure
And I charted her course
Climbed in her mountains
Hiked through her forests
And I rode her wild rivers
On down to the sea
And that dream still carries me

Dreams don't die easy
They cling to each hope
Cherish good memories
Manage somehow to cope
With pain and misfortune
And contrary minds
Some dreams just never die

Now I'm a dreamer, a drifter,
A writer of rhyme
A very well-kept secret
A rumor in my own time
But I still wish on stars
And chase adventurous schemes
O yes, I still have my dreams

Dreams don't die easy
They cling to each hope
Cherish good memories
Manage somehow to cope
With pain and misfortune
And contrary minds
Some dreams stand the tests of time
They're those dreams that never die
And did you know
You're still a dream of mine
