    Lyrics:
    Do you ever get scared
    Do you ever get sad
    Did you forget the childhood dreams that you had
    Hoped it’d be better but things turned out bad and all went wrong
    You don’t have to climb mountains or walk on the moon
    To fill up your heart like a great big balloon
    If you can't sleep at night just remember this tune
    and sing along
    Dream on
    Dream on
    Even when you’re afraid all your dreams may be gone
    Just dream on
    Dream on
    When the world says you’re crazy just tell them they’re wrong and dream on
    When I was younger I played make believe
    Now when I close my eyes I just fall asleep
    If you live long enough life will make you believe that they're gone
    Dream on
    Dream on
    Even when you’re afraid all your dreams may be gone
    Just dream on
    Dream on
    When the world says you’re crazy just tell them they’re wrong and dream on
    Dream on
    Dream on
    To infinity and far beyond
    Maybe they’ll take you fabulous places
    Maybe you’ll wake up right where you belong
    Dream on
    Dream on
    Even when you’re afraid all your dreams may be gone
    Just dream on
    Dream on
    When the world says you’re crazy just tell them they’re wrong
    When the world says you’re crazy just tell them they’re wrong and dream on

    I remember when this song first came out, I was in such a dark place. Hearing Ben singing "dream on" inspired me to think that the future may still hold some good for me. It was the first time in a long time that someone encouraged me to look forward to the future instead of dread it. Thanks, Ben.

It's timely, we need a song like this at a time like this and who better to skate to it then the wonderful Jason Brown. Thank you, Ben. GOD will bless you richly.

    I was one of the very lucky people who got to see the film and album at the Franklin Theater…and let me tell you…the words in this song brought tears to my eyes as soon as I heard them. So much joy has been lost in the last few years…and I resonate as a musician as well. Thanks for going for it, Ben, and creating stories with your words! Can’t wait for everyone to hear the rest of the album.

    Hey Ben, You probably won't see this but if you are...yay! I am in 10th grade and I love your music. A lot of your songs have helped me and a lot of my friends to get through a lot of things. I found you through the song Sailboat, still a current favorite. Your songs are currently helping me through getting over a friend who stabbed me in the back. Thank you Ben for creating relatable music with real emotion. One song that gives me the most hope is It would be you- acoustic version. I found it when doing my math homework. As of right now I want that to be my wedding song because it is 1 of 3 songs that have made me cry. Again thank you for your amazing work. Your music has changed my life more then I ever could have imagined. One of my goals next year is to see you in concert. That would be my greatest dream come true. If you are allowed to say this....when are you coming to utah on tour??

    I saw this on Kelly and Ryan this morning as well. In a very roundabout way it reminds me of an old song of my youth called "Hey Jimmy Joe John Jim Jack". A must hear if you've never heard this song.... Such similar messages from days gone by. My soul loves this song..... I've sent it out to both of my adult children this morning because I want them to always hold fast to their dreams. I'm a musical performing artist and I'm 62. I still dream 😊

The last 5 yrs have been beyond hard, physically, emotionally, financially, socially, artistically... This year is an uphill climb against all the "reasons" I am done in at 65, an age you can't fathom today but will whack you in the face sooner than you can imagine. Thank you for this song and you will love it even more when you hit 65.
