Don't Stop Believin'
Journey؀ Lyrics

Just a small town girl
A woman from a small town trying to make it big.

Livin' in a lonely world
Living in a world where she feels lost and alone.

She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Taking a chance to escape and pursue her dreams.

Just a city boy
A man from the city with big aspirations.

Born and raised in south Detroit
Growing up in a tough area of Detroit.

He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Leaving everything behind to chase his dreams.

A singer in a smoky room
A person performing in a dive bar with poor conditions and a smoky atmosphere.

A smell of wine and cheap perfume
The atmosphere of the bar is that of a cheap, rundown place.

For a smile they can share the night
Performing for the pleasure of their audience and the connection they can make through music.

It goes on and on, and on, and on
The performance never ends and the night goes on forever.

Strangers waiting
People waiting to connect with others and potentially make a friendship.

Up and down the boulevard
Walking around the city, looking for something to do and somewhere to go.

Their shadows searching in the night
People looking for something they may not have yet found in their lives.

Streetlights, people
City life full of strangers and hard work.

Living just to find emotion
Searching for a deeper connection or feeling in life.

Hiding somewhere in the night
What they are looking for is not easy to find, but they still have hope.

Working hard to get my fill
Putting in a lot of effort to achieve their dreams and goals.

Everybody wants a thrill
Everyone is looking for something exciting in their lives.

Payin' anything to roll the dice
Taking risks to achieve their goals, even if it means spending money or putting everything on the line.

Just one more time
One last chance to make it big and achieve their dreams.

Some will win, some will lose
There are no guarantees in life, and some will be successful while others will not.

Some were born to sing the blues
Some people are born with hardship and sorrow in their lives that can influence their art or music.

Oh, the movie never ends
Their life is an ongoing experience with no clear ending.

Don't stop believin'
Keep pushing forward and believing in your dreams.

Hold on to the feelin'
Hold onto the emotions and connection that comes from pursuing your dreams and passions.

Streetlights, people
The city life full of hard work, potential, and connection with others.

Don't stop believin'
Keep pushing forward and pursuing your goals no matter what obstacles come your way.

Hold on
Stay determined and focused on your goals.

Streetlights, people
The city life full of potential, hard work, and connections with others.

Don't stop believin'
Never give up on your goals and dreams.

Hold on to the feelin'
Hold onto the drive and passion that comes from chasing your goals and dreams.

Streetlights, people
City life full of opportunities and connections with others.
