You had a dream
You know you dreamt so much
You had a dream
You know it meant so much

You're just a victim of the circumstance
I mean-a, what else could you do?
You saw your dream and you just took a chance
And for awhile your dream came true
What could you do?

You had a goal
You know you aimed so high
You had soul
You knew you had to try

You're just a victim of the time of day
No matter what you say or do
You saw your dream and you just took a play
And for awhile your dream came true
What could you do?
What could you do?

[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]

You're just a victim of the circumstance
I mean-a, what else could you do?
You saw your dream and you just took a chance
And for awhile your dream came true
What could you do?
What could you do?
What could you do?
What could you do?

[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
