The music in this one has a very mid 70's, Elton John sort of sound. Music only on this version.
original progressive rock
Story behind the song
I wrote this one for my kids, so it is a bit different from most of my stuff, although my songs tend to differ a lot anyway. I'm not that great of a singer, so I didn't upload a version with vocals on it. I have a hard time hitting the higher notes in the chorus that I want in the melody. I have another version with all sorts of sound bites from the movie DragonHeart throughout the song, which I'm sure would not be legal to upload.
Lyrics
if you have a dream
of what you want to do
if you have the passion
it's something to pursue
but it won't happen over night
there's work for you to do
and if you give it everything
you can make your dreams come true
you must climb the mountains
and you must pay the tolls
you must slay the dragons
and never sell your soul
you can do most anything
if you believe it's true
you can be what you want to be
and I believe in you
in this life there are many destinations
and many paths to choose
we all fight some battles
and sometimes we may lose
but we can learn from our mistakes
and rise above the fear
we can get back on our feet
and things look so much clearer
you must climb the mountains
and you must pay the tolls
you must slay the dragons
and never sell your soul
you can do most anything
if you believe it's true
you can be what you want to be
and I believe in you
you must climb the mountains
and you must pay the tolls
you must slay the dragons
and never sell your soul
just remember this my son
no matter what you do
if you win or if you fail
I'll still believe in you
