I

So
hold
fast
to
your
dreams

II

Keep
them
always
high

III
Let
them
fly

IV
as
free
as
birds
in
the
sky

V
Hold
on
to
your
dreams

VI
Hold
them
very
fast

VII

So
no
one
would
dare
to
steal
them
or
restrain

VIII

Let
them
free
as
drops
of
rains

IX

Free
To
come
On
The
ground
or
fall on mountains
or
free
to
fall
on
the
vast
plain
