From the recording The First Move
Lyrics
I’m ready to throw my hat in the ring
I stand before you now with purpose and to sing
I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life
There’s a tide swelling up on the sea tonight I’m ready just to go for a ride
You’ll only find your oyster if you stop and stare in the stream
The world is my stage as I stand up and start to scream
Come chase the dream with me
I’m sick of lying in bed always thinking instead
Of getting up to chase the dream
Come chase the dream with me
I don’t want to delay no more wasting away
It’s time to chase the dream
My wheels have been spinning I haven’t gained any ground
The church bells are ringing they haven’t made any sound
I’m still waiting for the moment of my life
The stars shine bright in the sky tonight I’m ready just to take off and fly
In trying to decipher which side of the grass is more green
I learned that the field was all mine to sow, plough, and to glean
Come chase the dream with me
I can’t wait anymore I want to see what’s in store
When I get up to chase the dream
I can reach I can leap even if I fall
I’m better off than never having dreamed at all
My dreams aren’t lies if they don’t come true
Only if I don’t strive to see them through
