Do they say that you're just a dreamer
Cos you've always wanted to fly
They say dreams wont put food on your table boy
And dreams wont pay bills in your life

Do they tell you that you're living dangerously
Cos you're always walking some line
They say one day your luck will run out son
And what have you done with your time?

I'll say, I have loved and I've run and I've won
And I've climbed the mountain to watch the sun
Set on dreams that at least I have tried to make true
Cos a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do

Do they say you should plan for the future
Time wont always be on your side
Dream of tomorrow but live out today
In a way to be sure you'll survive

Have they told you that when you get older
And look back on those chances you had
That you'll not regret all those dreams that you let
Slip away cos the risk was too high

Well I'll say, I have loved and I've run and I've won
And I've climbed the mountain to watch the sun
Set on dreams that at least I have tried to make true
Cos a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
