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
