Don'T Stop Believing

I told you not to stop dreaming
Told you never to stop hoping 
But I guess you couldn't hold back from screaming
Guess you couldn't master the art of coping

But darling, it's not too late
Don't stop believing too soon 
The world is not only filled with hate
Your world seems darker than the moon

How have you managed for so long?
To cling onto this night sky
Staying so so strong
Whilst always wanting to cry

How have you managed to live without hope?
It's like your soul is gone
Your life resembles a skipping rope
As if you are always trying to go on

That all changes now darling
No one can live without the substance known as dreams
Dreams are sparkling
It's up to you to go and drown those screams

Don't stop believing in yourself
Because dreams take us places
They take us out of the darkness
And into the spaces

Those spaces of light and hope, of happiness and wonder
They take you out of the thunder

So don't stop believing
Everything will be alright
