Big Ol’ Dream - Lyrics
Read lyrics. Listen to song. Discuss song and/or do rest of activities.
The record shows it for sure
This is a land of dreamers, doers, and entrepreneurs
Where big dreams can come true
For everyone that means me and that means you
It’s knocking at my door, it’s worth shooting for
This vision I see is tugging at me
Whispering in my ear, forget your fear
Nothing you perceive is too big to achieve
Chorus
I got a big ol’ dream, it’s a beautiful thing
Makes me want to whistle and sing
It’s a beautiful thing I got a big ol’ dream
Twinkles and gleams and it sparkles and beams
I got a big ol’ dream, it’s a beautiful thing
Inpiring, I feel I can do anything (anything)
It’s talking straight to my heart, this big ol’ dream
Saying if I dare, if I plan and prepare
I’ll get you flying high like a jet in the air
I’ll life you up and sing, let me take you there
In Tallahassee and Silicon Valley, Green Bay and LA
In this land of ours you can shoot for the moon and stars
In Kansas and Atlanta, Austin and Boston
From the desert to the sea
Anywhere and everywhere in between
In this land ours a big ol’ dream can take you far
It’s calling out my name, so I’m taking aim
Unless I’ve tried, I won’t be satisfied
Everything I need is here inside of me
To turn this big ol’ dream into reality
I’m going to find my dream
I’m going to get my dream
I’m going to be my dream
I’m going to live my dream
