Keep Striving for Your Dreams – The Foreriders

Verse 1
Deep in a boom town
You grew up on the mean streets
But no one can see your head down
As long as your pure heart beats

A sensual soul
Caught by the urban sprawl
You see in your dreams
The land where the lions growl

Bridge 1
Green meadows are covered with wonderful flowers
Tall trees in jungle rise up like towers
Pink flamingos dance on a carpet of lilies
They come alive in your mind

Waves in the night are so smooth in the moonshine
But menacing gales keep hitting the shoreline
The feelings are so real they give you the willies
You cannot leave them behind (oh, how can you be so blind)

Chorus 1
Rise up, keep striving for your dreams (Keep on striving for)
Your dawn is closer than it seems (Your sun is rising so rise up)
Rise up, keep striving for your dreams (Keep on striving for)

Verse 2

Don't mess around
Get out of engines' blare
Don't you ever doubt
Go slip from this stuffy snare

Keep in your head
The new life you can aspire
And never forget
The freedom that you desire

Bridge 2

You're climbing the rocks where the wind blows so loud
To reach the mountain piercing the cloud
Your breath is so deep and your soul spreads the wings
Like an eagle up in the sky

You'll walk down the valley where tall trees keep growing
And then on the shore you'll find real life going on
Steps on the sand will show you the way
To the beach where the waves are high (Where the rolling waves are high)

Chorus 2

Rise up, keep striving for your dreams (Keep on striving for)
Your dawn is closer than it seems (Your sun is rising so rise up)
Rise up, keep striving for your dreams (Keep on striving for)
Your dawn is closer than it seems

Verse 3

You've finally found
A safe haven for souls on the run
It's time for joy and laughter
The party has just begun

Now you realize how close are
The things you dreamed of before
In this Eden Garden
You will blossom more and more

Bridge 3

Away from hustle and bustle of the city
Dances don't stop driven by reggae riddims
And washed by the waves naked girls look so pretty
Shining in the moonlight

Music will play and the couples will be formed up
Sitting by fire cuddling to warm up
And lucky boys will get their kisses
Later on a summer night (When the stars in the sky so bright)

Chorus 3

Rise up, keep striving for your dreams (Keep on striving for)
Your dawn is closer than it seems (Your sun is rising so rise up)
Rise up, keep striving for your dreams (Keep on striving for)
Your dawn is closer than it seems (Your dawn is closer so rise up)

Rise up, keep striving for your dreams (Keep on striving for your dreams)
Your dawn is closer than it seems (Your sun is rising so rise up)
Rise up, keep striving for your dreams (Keep on striving for)
Your dawn is closer than it seems
