Lyrics
Hold out your hand, wait, your life will turn around, and don't forget about the people who were there when you were down.
I know both sides of life so don't wait around, I'm on my way up to the top, I can't turn around.
Life's a dream for you and me, wait your turn and you will see, I can't turn my back on what will be. It's not a fantasy.
Sax break
Life's a dream for you and me, wait your turn and you will see, I can't turn my back on what will be. It's not a fantasy.
Now I'm on the top, wished I could turn around
But I don't know if you'd be there if I stepped down.
I got my fame, I got my fortune too, but what good is all that fame if I miss my dream come true, and if I do.
Life's a dream for you and me, wait your turn and you will see, I can't turn my back on what will be. It's not a fantasy.
Life's a dream for you and me, wait your turn and you will see, I can't turn my back on what will be. It's not a fantasy.
