Don't Stop Believin'
Cory Monteith and Lea Michele Lyrics

Just a small town girl
There was a girl from a small town

Livin' in a lonely world
She felt alone and isolated in her small town

She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
She decided to leave her small town and go on a journey with no set destination

Just a city boy
There was a boy from the city

Born and raised in South Detroit
He was from the southern part of Detroit, where he grew up

He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
He also went on a journey with no destination in mind by taking the midnight train

A singer in a smokey room
They came across a singer performing in a room filled with smoke

The smell of wine and cheap perfume
The room was fragrant with the scents of wine and inexpensive perfume

For a smile they can share the night
The singer and their audience connected through a shared happiness that lasted throughout the night

It goes on and on and on and on
The night seemed never-ending

Strangers waiting
There were people they did not know waiting

Up and down the boulevard
These strangers had been walking up and down the street in search of something

Their shadows searchin' in the night
Their figures were casting long shadows as the night wore on

Streetlight, people
The people on this journey found themselves among the dimly lit streets

Livin' just to find emotion
Everyone is searching for a feeling to make them feel alive

Hidin' somewhere in the night
This feeling is elusive and difficult to find, hiding somewhere in the darkness

Workin' hard to get my fill
People are working hard to achieve their goals and desires

Everybody wants a thrill
People want to experience excitement and adventure

Payin' anythin' to roll the dice
People are willing to take risks by paying anything for a chance to succeed

Just one more time
Even after setbacks, people try again and again for that one moment of success

Some will win, some will lose
Not everyone will come out on top in their pursuit of their goals

Some are born to sing the blues
Some people are destined to live a life of hardship and sorrow

And now the movie never ends
Life is a continuous journey without a predetermined end

It goes on and on and on and on
Life continues to move forward, never stopping

Don't stop believin'
It's important to never lose hope and continue to believe in oneself

Hold on to that feelin'
The feeling of hope and belief should be cherished and held onto tightly

Streetlight, people
These people on their journey, regardless of their background or circumstances, are united in their search for happiness and success

Don't stop!
Keep going, no matter what obstacles come your way
