You can take away my freedom
 But my spirit [bad word] free
 You can take away my vision
 That don’t mean that I can’t see

Well all I have to say
 Is it doesn’t work that way
 What lives inside of me
 Will find its way to be

It all starts with a dream
 The dawn of a new day
 The God inside of you
 Will always see you through
 So hold on to your dream
 No one can take the dream
 From your heart
 From your heart

You can try to shake my reason
 But you’ll never take me down
 You can fill me full of bullets
 But I’m built on solid ground

So all I have to say
 Is I’m not going away
 It’s much bigger than me
 God’s will will always be

It all starts with a dream
 The dawn of a new day
 The God inside of you
 Will always see you through
 So hold on to your dream
 No one can take the dream
 From your heart
 From your heart

Amen, amen, amen

You will never take my passion
 ‘Cause it always will remain
 Even if I lose this battle, oh yeah
 It’s just blood inside my veins

That’s all I have to say
 The dream won’t go away
 You can’t steal from me
 What God gave me for free

It all starts with a dream
 The dawn of a new day
 The God inside of you
 Will always see you through
 So hold on to your dream
 No one can take the dream
 From your heart
 From your heart
