I’ve got a picture in my head
Got an idea on my mind --
What if we lived in a world
where no one’s ever left behind?

I believe --
every heart has a dream
every dream has its hope
and every hope has a prayer 
at the end of its rope

And this is what I see
behind the darkest night --
a new reality…

Together you and me
will dare a new American Dream
where everybody gets a chance
to be who they want to be
And no one gets left out
and everybody gets to do
whatever it takes to make a new
American Dream come true

They say there’s only so much room
at the top of the dreamer’s game
And only a few lucky ones
will come close enough to hold the flame

But that doesn’t have to be
We can bring
 a new reality

Together you and me
will dare a new American Dream, etc.
 
Not a single heart will go unexpressed
Not a single voice will be stilled
in this brave new world --

Together you and me
will dare a new American Dream, etc.
