Don't Stop Believin'
Lea Michele Lyrics

Just a small town girl
She was a girl from a small town, nothing special about her

Livin' in a lonely world
Her world was lonely, she had nobody in her life

She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
She left her town and left her loneliness behind, not knowing where she was headed

Just a city boy
He was a boy from the city, living a typical city life

Born and raised in South Detroit
He was born and raised in the southern part of Detroit

He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
He too left his city life and took a train into the unknown

A singer in a smokey room
She found herself in a room filled with smoke, singing to the people around her

The smell of wine and cheap perfume
The room smelled of wine and perfume, but cheap ones

For a smile they can share the night
She sang for the people in the room, in exchange for a smile, which made her night

It goes on and on and on and on
The night never seemed to end, it went on and on without any signs of stopping

Strangers waiting
There were strangers waiting for something

Up and down the boulevard
They were waiting up and down the town's main street

Their shadows searchin' in the night
Their shadows were searching for something in the dark night

Streetlight, people
They were people who lived under the streetlight, unable to find their way

Livin' just to find emotion
They were living their lives desperately searching for something emotional to hold on to

Hidin' somewhere in the night
What they were looking for was hidden somewhere in the darkness of the night

Workin' hard to get my fill
She's working hard to achieve her goals and get what she wants

Everybody wants a thrill
Everyone wants to be excited about something in their lives

Payin' anythin' to roll the dice
People are willing to give anything to try and take risks in order to achieve their goals

Just one more time
They always want to take that one more risk to make their dreams come true

Some will win, some will lose
Some people will succeed, while others will fail

Some are born to sing the blues
Some people are destined to experience sadness and hardship through their lives

And now the movie never ends
Life is like a movie that never ends, it just goes on and on

It goes on and on and on and on
Just like a movie, life keeps going on

Don't stop believin'
Never stop believing in your dreams and potential, even when times are tough

Hold on to that feelin'
Hold onto the positive feeling that comes with being hopeful about the future

Streetlight, people
The people you'd find under streetlights out in the open, hiding nothing

Don't stop!
Keep the hope and the energy, and never stop pushing forward
