Lyrics

First verse

Apu:

When I close my eyes I wish that I could fantasize

Pull a dream right out of the air

Take a chance, turn it into a prayer:

Girl, you know I want to be the guy

With a hunger burning deep inside

Tonight I wish upon a falling star

To discover what my yearnings are

Second verse

Apu:

Hopin' for a dream

Hopin'

Focus like a laser beam

I'll keep fighting till I want something great

Hopin' for a dream

Hopin' for a dream

Hopin'

To someday, somehow have a goal

I'll keep fighting till I want something great

I'm hopin' for a dream

Hopin', hopin', hopin'

Hopin' for a dream

Hopin' Dreams are great or so it seems

If I never find one I guess that's okay

I'm hopin' for a dream Hopin', hopin', hopin' Hopin' for a dream
