Steppenwolf - Lonely Dreamers lyrics

Words and music by John Kay and Rocket Ritchotte Running like bandits through the blinding dark of night There's nothing in sight Suddenly someone shines a guiding light Things start lookin' all right Clutching the promise of a bright and better dawn You wait for the sun Oh, you can bury a man when all his dreams are gone So you just keep holding on And here's to the lost and lonely dreamers Struggling to survive Here's to the true and daily heroes Keeping our dreams alive Watching the news you took a bruising body blow Your guts screaming foul Madness and mayhem got you on the ropes Somebody throw in the towel Just when you feel like going down to end the bout To stop all this pain Somebody somewhere shows a ray of hope And you start punching again And here's to the lost and lonely dreamers Struggling to survive Here's to the true and daily heroes Keeping our dreams alive Here's to the young and old crusaders Battling side by side Here's to the laughing bright-eyed children Keeping our hopes alive © 1989 Black Leather Music, Inc.
