I believe there is a place 
Where people live in perfect peace 
Where there is food on every plate 
Where work is rewarded and rest is sweet 
Where the color of your skin 
Won't get you in or keep you out 
Where justice reigns and truth finally wins 
Its hard fought war against fear and doubt 
And everyone I know wants to go there too 
But when I ask them how to do it they seem so confused 
Do I turn to the left? 
Do I turn to the right? 
When I turn to the world they gave me this advice

[CHORUS:]
They said boy you just follow your heart 
But my heart just led me into my chest 
They said follow your nose 
But the direction changed every time I went and turned my head 
And they said boy you just follow your dreams 
But my dreams were only misty notions 
But the Father of hearts and the Maker of noses 
And the Giver of dreams He's the one I have chosen 
And I will follow Him 
I believe there'll come a time 
Lord, I pray it's not too far off 
There'll be no poverty or crime 
There'll be no greed and we will learn how to love 
And children will be safe in their homes 
And there'll be no violence out on the streets 
The old will not be left alone 
And the strong will learn how to care for the weak 
And everyone I know hopes it comes real soon 
But when I ask 'em where I'd find it they seem so confused 
Do I find it in the day? 
Do I find it in the night? 
When I finally ask the world they give me this advice 

[CHORUS:]

And oh, I hear the voice of a million dreams 
Then I wake in the world that I'm partly made of 
And the world that is partly my homemaking 
And oh, I hear the song of a heart set free 
That will not be kept down 
By the fury and sound 
Of a world that is wasting away but keeps saying (keeps on saying) 

[CHORUS:]

(Just follow your dreams) 
(You just follow your dreams)
