Keep On Dreaming Big Country

Born too soon for a future
Born too poor for love
Born too far from the warmth of the sun
Or a place in the heavens above
It's a cold, cold night in the circus
A colder night in the zoo
Light up the fires down in Carton Town
Where the feet and the fingers are blue

I said keep on dreaming
Hey, hey, keep on dreaming

I hear talk of chances
Chances gone to waste
Well, it's hard to see opportunity
With a hand drawn across your face
We never chose the doctor
We never chose the school
We never chose the family
Or the winning smile of the fool

I said keep on dreaming
Keep on dreaming
Like the life you have is the life you want
Keep on dreaming
