| Comments: |
We spent three years writing the 21 songs that appear in the production ... a typical time-line for a Broadway show. A "cast album" was recorded in New York in 2018 with nine musicians and 19 singers. The version above is Bryan's interpretation of "Never Give Up On A Dream", recorded 2021-2022 at the Warehouse Studio in Vancouver Canada. |

| Lyrics: | You always wanted to be a singer People told you, you was a dead ringer For Marvin Gaye and one of these days You’d be singing at the Hollywood Bowl Well, one thing led to another It was a full time job just tryin' to cover your assets You had some bad debts Y’know the Boulevard took its toll You still got some fire in your belly Stand back and don’t try to tell me It can’t be done cuz son of a gun Never give up Never give up Never give up on a dream - no I had a dream, believe it or not You wanted to be a cop Walk the beat and keep the street safe for everyone Ah, but your dream went left and you went right Next thing you know you’re workin' at night Wearin' six-inch heels instead of a badge and a gun Oh, you still got some cards on the table I swear, as long as you’re able To draw a breath just do your best Never give up on a dream Gotta keep your eye on the prize The brass ring looks just your size No excuse no alibis Never give up Never give up Never give up on a dream Just a dream - ya know what I mean You got to seize the opportunity and go to extremes To find your dance now Make a stance now And empower your hour of chance now So go chase it Don’t ya waste it It’s like a pie in the sky, you can almost taste it Never give up on a dream You still got some fire in your belly Stand back and don’t try to tell me It can’t be done cuz son of a gun Never give up on a dream - no Kick you out in the cold, you’ll make it Squeeze you into a mould, you’ll break it If there’s a fork in the road, you’ll take it Never give up Never give up, never Never give up on a dream Never give up on a dream |
