lyrics
Catch your dream and shackle it to your heart
Catch your dream, don't let it spread its wings and fly away
Catch your dream, don't ever let the quittin' start
You gotta catch your dream and shackle it to your heart
Woah yeah
We got a dream, we're gonna chase it
And catch it by the tail
Throw it into a cage and make it our own
Yeah, yeah
Just got one shot, we're gonna take it,
Gonna shoot that bad boy down
Gonna bag that beautiful beast and drag it on home
Ah huh
And you can catch the wildest dream you dare
Grab your camo and ammo, we're loaded for bear
You gotta...
Catch your dream and shackle it to your heart
Catch your dream, don't let it spread its wings and fly away
Catch your dream, don't ever let the quittin' start
You gotta catch your dream and shackle it to your heart
Chain it down son.
That dream is big, won't go down easy.
It's gonna struggle to break free
Until we beat it senseless with courage, hope and will
Yes we will
We're gonna make it rue the day,
That it had the nerve to fly away
As hand in hand we close in for the kill.
Yeah we will
Cuz it's not enough to simply want a thing
You've got to crush its soul and clip its wings
You gotta
Catch your dream and shackle it to your heart
Catch your dream, don't let it spread its wings and fly away
Oh no, you gotta
Catch your dream, don't ever let the quittin' start
You gotta catch your dream and shackle it to your heart
Now some of you might not make it back alive
But the meat is gonna taste sweet to us,
The lucky few who are strong enough to survive
Cuz it's not enough to simply catch your dream
You gotta grab your dream and catch your dream's dream.
Catch your dream and shackle it to your heart
Catch your dream, don't let it spread its wings and fly away
Catch your dream, don't ever let the quittin' start
You gotta catch your dream and shackle it to your heart
You gotta gut it and stuff it and mount it to your heart
