I don't have a lot of money in my bank account, Tank is empty might as well not have a car,





Open my refrigerator and I scratch my head, Cause all I see is rotten fruit and empty jars,






Life's a struggle and it seems that it'll never change, At least for us which lotto numbers aren't picked,






But I have much bigger dreams for the future, I refuse to believe that this is it so (La di da, la di da, dreaming of a better life La di da, la di da, dreaming of a better life)





Now is the time for stepping out and taking chances I'm gonna have an American Dream tonight






Got opportunities and I'm taking advantage Don't wanna wake up cause I'm living a better life.






But it's time for me to go back to work, I got a pile of bills that won't pay themselves, And can't afford for my credit to get any worse so,





Here I go once again putting in another 12 hour day-ay-ay, Can't wait till the weekend, when I get some sleep in, And in my dreams I'll say (La di da, la di da, dreaming of a better life La di da, la di da, dreaming of a better life) Now is the time for stepping out and taking chances I'm gonna have an American Dream tonight






Got opportunities and I'm taking advantage Don't wanna wake up cause I'm living a better life I'm not a prisoner of my circumstances, Can't stop achieving, keep believing my future is bright, Now I can see myself excelling and advancing, Don't wanna wake up cause I'm living a better life.



I know one day that things are gonna change,






I look forward to the future when the sun will replace the rain, I gotta keep moving, keep pursuing, keep dreaming, keep believing,





Until my dreams become reality.


Now is the time for stepping out and taking chances
I'm gonna have an American Dream tonight


Got opportunities and I'm taking advantage
Don't wanna wake up cause I'm living a better life


I'm not a prisoner of my circumstances,
Can't stop achieving, keep believing my future is bright,


Now I can see myself excelling and advancing,
Don't wanna wake up cause I'm living a better life.
