Running like bandit's through the
Blinding dark of night
There's nothing in sight
Suddenly someone shines a guiding light
Things start lookin' all right

Clutching the promise of a
Bright and better dawn you wait for the sun
Oh, you can bury a man when
All his dreams are gone
So you just keep holding on

And here's to the lost and lonely dreamers
Struggling to survive
Here's to the true and daily heroes
Keeping our dreams alive

Watching the news you took
A bruising body blow
Your guts screaming foul
Madness and mayhem got you on the ropes
Somebody throw in the towel

Just when you feel like going
Down to end the bout to stop all this pain
Somebody somewhere shows a ray of hope
And you start punching again

And here's to the lost and lonely dreamers
Struggling to survive
Here's to the true and daily heroes
Keeping our dreams alive

Here's to the young and old crusaders
Battling side by side
Here's to the laughing bright-eyed children
Keeping our hopes alive
