There's a dream I hold
In my heart I've seldom told
Where the four winds blow
To streets of gold
And it holds me high
In my heart I touch the sky
No matter how many times I fall

There were times in my life
When I walked across that line
There were times in my life
When I tried so hard to make it

With my dreams on fire
And my heart in my hands
We are who we are
And I know who I am tonight

From the shore we turn the tide
If you seek it will not hide
And flags we fly at last unfold
I'm in an island in the sun
They can't stop what has begun
No matter how fast those daggers come

There were times in my life
When I walked across that line
There were times in my life
When I tried so hard to make it

With my dreams on fire
And my heart in my hands
We are who we are
And I know who I am tonight

With my dreams on fire
And my heart in my hands
We are who we are
And I know who I am tonight

When I was a boy a long time ago
