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
