She wasted her time drinking whiskey
Uh, she wasted her time smoking joints
And sure she noticed, noticed the difference
Of being drunk and stoned
But that was all she ever learned
Oh, she never got old

She always dreamt of leaving the streets
That she knew so well
But every time she weakly tried
Yes, then her dream tured pale

No, she didn't see the rainbow in the sky
Oh, she forgot all about her dreams
It almost makes me cry

Cos we become what we become
We've got the choise in our hands
If you are born wealthy and strong
Then show them what you can

You gotta hold on
Oh yeah, hold on to your dreams
You gotta hold on
Yeah man, hold on to your dreams

Or you'll end up just like her
Yeah, hold on tight

You gotta hold on
Oh yeah, hold on to your dreams
You gotta hold on
Yeah man, hold on to your dreams

Hold on
Oh yeah, hold on to your dreams
You gotta hold on
Yeah man, hold on to your dreams
You gotta hold on
Oh yeah, hold on to your dreams
You gotta hold on
Yeah man, hold on to your dreams

Oh yeah, hold on to your dreams
Or you'll end up just like her
