Never Give Up On A Dream

[ENSEMBLE]
Oh
[HAPPY MAN, spoken]
Everybody needs a dream
[ENSEMBLE]
Oh
[HAPPY MAN, spoken]
Even a guy like me
(sung)
I always wanted to be a singer
People told me I was a dead ringer
For Marvin Gaye, and one of these days
I'll be singin' at the Hollywood Bowl.

Oh wow, one thing led to another
Was your full-time job tryin' to cover
My assets, I had some bad debt
You know the boulevard took its toll.

But I've still got some fire in my belly
Stand back, and don't try to tell me
It can't be done, 'cause son of a gun
Never give up, never give up
Never give up on a dream, now
[ENSEMBLE]
Oh.

[KIT]
I had a dream, believe it or not
I wanted to be a cop
Walk the beat, and keep the streets safe
For everyone
Oh, but my dream went left and I went right
Next thing you know, I'm workin' at night
Wearin' six inch heels, instead of a badge and a gun.

[HAPPY MAN & ENSEMBLE]
Yeah, but you still got some cards on the table
I swear, as long as you're able
To draw a breath, just invest
Never give up on a dream
Gotta keep your eye on the prize
The brass ring that's just your size
No excuse, no alibis
Never give up, never give up
Never give up on a dream.

Now, invite the dream, you know what I mean
You gotta seize the opportunity and go to extremes
Find your dance, now, and take your stance, now
And empower the hour of chance, now
So go chase it
Don't you waste it
There's a pie in the sky.

[KIT]
I can almost taste it.

[HAPPY MAN & ENSEMBLE]
Never give up on a dream (woo)
Uh, uh
A-he, a-he, a-he
Don't fight the dream, invite the dream
Don't fight the dream, invite the dream
Don't fight the dream, invite the dream
Oh, woah, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, woah, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, woah, oh-oh-oh-oh
Come on (ahhh)

[KIT & ENSEMBLE]
I'm not givin' up (hey)
You're not givin' up
We're never givin' up
Never give up on a dream.

Still got some fire in my belly
Stand back, and don't try to tell me
It can't be done, 'cause son of a gun
Never give up on a dream.

[KIT & HAPPY MAN]
Kick me out in the cold, I'll make it
Squeeze me into a mould, I'll break it
If there's a fork in the road, I'll take it
Never give up, never give up, never give up
Never give up on a dream.

[ENSEMBLE]
Woah
[KIT & HAPPY MAN]
Come on
[COMPANY]
Never give up on a dream.
