Damn That Dream - Dennis De Young

All my life I have tried

To make sense of this dream I’m chasing

Tryin' to silence the voice tellin' me I’m not good enough

Be the best you can be

Boy remember to keep on smilin'

Try, try harder and someday day son you’ll see

'Cause you can do better ya know

These are the words I was told long ago

But to never give up or give in man it’s takin' its toll

Damn the dream that steals the night

With restless thoughts till mornings light

In sleepless hours we ask is this what we’re made of

Damn that dream that robs the soul

That cuts us all in half from whole

Damn the fears that know just what we’re afraid of

Damn that dream

I love that dream

What the hell do you do

When your future is all in past tense

And the clock on the wall keeps spinning round and round

Well here’s my point of view

When the world seems to make no damn sense

Why not take some other avenue

'Cause you can do better ya see

Excepting the fact there no guarantees

Cause every dream falls apart in the face of reality

Damn the dream that breaks your heart

That leaves you lost and torn apart

Searching for a clue to find what you’re made of

Damn the dream that promised you

The land of oz then dared come true

Leaving you to find it’s all a charade of

That damn dream

Damn the dream that breaks your heart

That leaves you lost and torn apart

Searching for a clue to find what you’re made of

Damn the dream that promised you

The land of oz then dared come true

Leaving you to find it’s all a charade of

Damn that dream

I love that dream

Damn that dream

I love that dream

Damn that dream

I love that dream

Damn that dream
