Dare
Vince DiCola/Stan Bush Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And there's nowhere to turn
You wonder how you keep going (going)
Think of all the things that really mattered
And the chances you've earned
The fire in your heart is growing (growing)
You can fly, if you try, leaving the past behind
Heaven only knows what you might find
Dare, dare to believe you can survive
You hold the future in your hand
Dare, dare to keep all of your dreams alive
It's time to take a stand
And you can win, if you dare
Everybody's trying to break your spirit
Keeping you down
Seems like it's been forever (ever), oh
But there's another voice if you'll just hear it
Saying it's the last round
Looks like it's now or never (never)
Out of the darkness you stumble into the light
Fighting for the things you know are right
Dare, dare to believe you can survive
The power is there at your command
Dare, dare to keep all of your dreams alive
It's time to take a stand
And you can win, if you dare
Dare, dare to believe you can survive
You hold the future in your hand
Dare, dare to keep all of your dreams alive
The power is there at your command, oh
Dare, dare to keep all your love alive
Dare to be all you can be
Dare, there is a place where dreams survive
And it's calling you on to victory
Dare, dare.
In "Dare," Vince DiCola and Stan Bush sing about the importance of perseverance and hope. The lyrics acknowledge that life can be difficult and full of challenges, but it is possible to overcome them if one has the courage to keep going. The song encourages listeners to think about the things that truly matter to them and the opportunities they have earned. Then, it urges them to leave the past behind and focus on the present and future. The chorus repeats the word "dare" several times, emphasizing that taking risks and believing in oneself is necessary to succeed.
The second half of the lyrics continues this theme, but also acknowledges the obstacles that can get in the way. The song suggests that there are voices that seek to bring people down and make them feel defeated. However, the chorus returns, emphasizing that it is important to remain hopeful and to keep working towards one's dreams. The lyrics emphasize that even when things seem the darkest, there is always a chance to find the light and to fight for what is right.
