[Verse 1]
If there's doubt and you're cold
Don't you worry what the future holds
We've gotta have heroes to teach us all
To never give up on a dream
Claim the road, touch the sun
No force on earth could stop you run
When your heart bursts like the sun
Never never give up on a dream

[Verse 2]
Shadows fall, daylight dies
Freedom never got a place to hide
Search forever photo finish line
But never give up on your dream

[Verse 3]
Crazy notions fill your head
You gotta break all the records set
Push yourself until the end
But don't you ever give up on your dream

[Bridge]
Now listen to me
You don't need no restrictions, yeah
Oh, sing it again
You can't live on sympathy
You just need to go the distance
Oh the distance
That's all you need to be free
To be free, to be free, to be free
Sing a song for me children
You don't need no restrictions yeah
You can't live on sympathy
You just need to go the distance
That's all you need to be free

[Verse 4]
Now listen to me!
Inspiring all to never lose
It'll take a long long time before they fill your shoes
It'll take somebody, somebody, who's a lot like you
Who never gave up on a dream
No, you never gave up on a dream
No, you never gave up on a dream
You never, never, never
Never gave up on a dream
