World turns black and white Pictures in an empty room Your love starts fallin down Better change your tun, yeah Reach for the golden ring Reach for the sky Baby just spread your wings We'll get higher and higher Straight up we'll climb We'll get higher and higher Leave it all behind Run, run, run away Like a train runnin off the track Got the truth gets left behind Falls between the cracks Standing on broken dreams Never losin' sight, ah Spread your wings We'll get higher and higher Straight up we'll climb We'll get higher and higher Leave it all behind So baby dry your eyes, save all The tears you've cried Oh that's what dreams are made of 'Cause we belong in a world that must be strong Oh that's what dreams are made of We'll get higher and higher Straight up we'll climb Higher and higher leave it all behind Oh we'll higher and higher who knows What we'll find So baby dry your eyes, save all The tears you've cried Oh that's what dreams are made of Oh baby we belong in a world that must be strong Oh that's what dreams are made of And in the end on dreams we will depend 'Cause that's what love is made of
