I’m ready to throw my hat in the ring
I stand before you now with a purpose and to sing
I’ve been waiting for this moment for all of my life
There’s a tide swelling up in the sea tonight I’m ready just to go for a ride
You’ll only find your oyster if you stop and stare in the stream
The world is my stage as I stand up and I start to scream

Come chase the dream with me
I’m sick of lying in bed
Always thinking instead
Of getting up to chase the dream

Come chase the dream with me
I don’t want to delay
No more wasting away
It’s time to chase the dream

My wheels have been spinning I haven’t gained any ground
The church bells are ringing they haven’t made any sound
I’m still waiting for the moment of my life
The stars shine bright in the sky tonight I’m ready just to take off and fly
In trying to decipher which side of the grass is more green
I learned that the whole field was mine to sow plough and to glean

Come chase the dream with me
I can’t wait anymore
Want to see what’s in store
When I get up to chase the dream

I can reach I can leap even if I fall
I’m better off than never having dreamed at all
Cause my dreams aren’t lies if they don’t come true
Only if I don’t strive to see them through
