  • When I was a little boy,
    I swore that I would change the world
    When I grew up.
    Nothing else would be enough.
    I see it every day,
    We settle for sane,
    And lose ourselves along the way.

    But if you don't dream big,
    What's the use in dreaming?
    If you don't have faith,
    There's nothing worth believing.
    It takes one hope
    To make the stars worth reaching for,
    So reach out for something more.

    It took a well-perfected plan
    For me to finally understand
    That it's not me (it's not me)
    Faith is something you can't see.
    I wiped my tears away.
    Now it's time for a change,
    No I can't waste another day.

    'cause if you don't dream big,
    What's the use in dreaming?
    If you don't have faith,
    There's nothing worth believing.
    It takes one hope
    To make the stars worth reaching for.

    'cause if you don't have faith,
    What's the use in dreaming?
    If you don't have faith,
    There's nothing worth believing.
    It takes one hope
    To make the stars worth reaching for,
    So reach out for something more. Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
