These are the lyrics to "Hold On Tight" by the Electric Light Orchestra. One source calls it the most inspiring rock song ever. Feelin' lowzy? Take a looky at this and GET PUMPED!

Hold on tight to your dream
Hold on tight to your dream
When you see your ship go sailing
When you feel your heart is breaking
Hold tight to your dream.

It's a long time to be gone
Time just rolls on and on
When you need a shoulder to cry on
When you get so sick of trying
Just hold tight to your dream

When you get so down that you can't get up
And you want so much but you're all out of luck
When you're so downhearted and misunderstood
Just over & over & over you could

Accroches-toi a ton reve
Accroches-toi a ton reve
Quand tu vois ton bateau partir
Quand tu sents -- ton coeur se briser
Accroches-toi a ton reve.

Hold on tight to your dream
Hold on tight to your dream
When you see the shadows falling
When you hear that cold wind calling
Hold on tight to your dream.

Oh, yeah
Hold on tight to your dream
Yeah, hold on tight...
To your dream!

Mbo, when you have a dream of something you want, it is wise to ask yourself why do I want this?

I guess, but if you've been planning on being a world-conquering artist/musician/composer for over 4 years, why ask? The next dream? Get that degree in Irish Studies from either Boston College or Pennsylvania University!

Hang on, Meebo! Meebo, hang on!

Without a dream or two, life is pretty meaningless. This isn't to say that our dreams will bring us fulfillment, but we need them to get through life.For what is life without the hope of better things;better times?

It is good to examine our dreams,to ask ourselves why we have the specific dreams we have.But as it says in "Flower Drum Song"

"You got to ahve a dream,

If you don't have a dream,

How you gonna have a dream come true?"

Troll,
Isn't that South Pacific, Happy Talk?

HAPPY TALK

Happy talk keep talking happy talk
Talk about things you like to do.
You gotta have a dream,
If you don't have a dream,
How you gonna make a dream come true?

And you never have a dream...
Then you never gonna have a dream... come... true...

Yer right. So much for MY memory. I suffer from CRS and , the older I get, the worse it gets.I guess I need to purge my hard drive of un-needed files or something.

But I DID remember the song and it IS appropriate to the ocassion, so maybe I'm not as bad off as I thought.

Thanks for the gentle correction.

Except that it was pronounced "dleeem". Which I always found enchanting and redolent of undreamed innocence.
