In the beginning, darlin'
You made your first play
Living in a dream
Finding your way

Now it's for real
Learn from your feelings
Feel your resolve getting stronger with every day
Welcoming change

So wake up your heart and make a difference
Don't let your life and ambition just fade away
Make it real
And know that love conquers all

You can depend on it
Take a firm hold on your present
Your past and your future
Don't lose your grip, hold on tight

Life ain't about winning, darlin'
It's how you play the game
Living in a dream - ain't that a shame

So wake up your heart and make a difference
Feel your resolve getting stronger with every day
Make it real

And know that love conquers all
You can depend on it
Don't make the same mistake
That you made over and over
Wake up, take hold of your life

Oh, oh, oh
Faint hearts don't make the grade
Go for it all

You know that love conquers all
You can depend on it
