A man and a train, a train and a man

They both tried to run as far

And as fast as they can

But a man's not a train and a train's not a man

A man can do things that a train never can



Goin' up a mountain even half way to the top

The minute that a train runs out of steam it's gotta stop

But it's a different story when a man runs out of steam

He still can go a long, long way

On nothin' but a dream



Goin' cross the country when a train runs out of track

It has to stop and turn around and then start headin' back

But many miles from nowhere out where all the tracks are gone

A man who's got himself a dream

Can still keep goin' on



So don't try to stop me

Don't try to stop me cause nobody can

I've got a dream, a beautiful dream and that makes me a man

No don't try to stop me

Don't try to stop me cause nobody can

I've got a dream, a beautiful dream and that makes me

Makes me a man
