Dream on, dream on
Stop, saying again it’s old and I be told
Try to help the child that’s only 4 years old
Why? Why would say back and relax and watch the kids fall off the track
How? How can you sit on the side line and watch it go down
You, you need to make someone feel really proud
Rhythm is the key, can’t you see, just *don't do it for publicity* I, I was the boy in the little picture, always asking questions but never getting really good answers
So I screamed out loud, I said please give them the answers
Give them the answers, they need the answers 

So people asked me how was life for me?
Growing up in a dark pretty city
It was "scary, but life was good, see, in my neighborhood
In my neighborhood, in my neighborhood, in my neighborhood
It’s all coming back to me now, see when I was growing up
There was a lot of people raising me 
I didn’t know where to turn
But I listened to everything I heard, every man every woman
Every teacher, every preacher, yes I listened to
And you gotta do the same things, oh yes you do
Oh, march to the drums, look all around you
Help somebody find the way, oh yeah
Show them the way, don’t let them find out the hard way
Show them the way.<br />
