Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through
Jim Steinman Lyrics

You can't run away forever
You can't escape your problems forever

But there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start.
But it's okay to start addressing them early

You want to shut out the night
You want to shut out the darkness in your life

You want to shut down the sun
You want to shut down everything that's bright and happy

you want to shut away the pieces of a broken heart.
You want to bury the pain of a broken heart

Think of how we'd lay down together
Think of the happy moments we've shared together

We'd be listening to the radio so loud and so strong.
We'd be listening to music that makes us feel better

Every golden nugget coming like a gift of the gods.
Every great song feels like it's a divine gift

Someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs
The creator must have blessed us by giving us great music

I treasure your love
I value your love very much

I never want to lose it
I don't want to lose your love ever

You've been through the fires of hell
You've been through some really tough times

And I know you've got the ashes to prove it.
And I know you still carry the scars of those experiences

I want to show you how to use it
I want to show you how to channel those experiences

You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt
You've been through a lot of pain and suffering

And I know you've got the scars to prove it.
And I know you still have the emotional scars to show for it

Remember everything that I told you
Remember what I've said to you before

And I'm telling you again that it's true.
And I'm reminding you that it's still true

When you're alone and afraid and you're completely amazed
When you're going through a hard time and you're surprised by it

To find there's nothing anybody can do
To find that nobody else can help you

Keep on believing
Keep having faith

And you'll discover baby:
And you'll find out that

There's always something magic
There is always something magical about music that uplifts you

There's always something new
Music can always bring a fresh perspective and hope

And when you really really need it the most
And when you are at your lowest point

That's when rock and roll dreams come through.
That's when the power of music lifts you up

The beat is yours forever
The power of music is always with you

the beat is always new
Music can always bring new inspiration and joy

You're never alone cause you can put on the phones
You're never alone because good music can always comfort you

And let the drummer tell your heart what to do.
And let the rhythm and the beat guide your emotions
