text: Oh
  Everybody needs a dream
  Oh
  Even a guy like me
  I always wanted to be a singer
  People told me I was a dead ringer
  For Marvin Gaye, and one of these days
  Ill 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 Ive still got some fire in my belly
  Stand back, and dont try to tell me
  It cant be done, cause son of a gun
  Never give up, never give up
  Never give up on a dream, now
  Oh
  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, Im workin at night
  Wearin six inch heels, instead of a badge and a gun
  Yeah, but you still got some cards on the table
  I swear, as long as youre able
  To draw a breath, just invest
  Never give up on a dream
  Gotta keep your eye on the prize
  The brass ring thats 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
  Dont you waste it
  Theres a pie in the sky
  I can almost taste it
  Never give up on a dream 
  Uh, uh
  A-he, a-he, a-he
  Dont fight the dream, invite the dream
  Dont fight the dream, invite the dream
  Dont 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 
  Im not givin up 
  Youre not givin up
  Were never givin up
  Never give up on a dream
  Still got some fire in my belly
  Stand back, and dont try to tell me
  It cant be done, cause son of a gun
  Never give up on a dream
  Kick me out in the cold, Ill make it
  Squeeze me into a mould, Ill break it
  If there’s a fork in the road, Ill take it
  Never give up, never give up, never give up
  Never give up on a dream
  Woah
  Come on
  Never give up on a dream
