Steppenwolf - Lonely Dreamers lyrics

Words and music by John Kay and Rocket Ritchotte

Running like bandits through the blinding dark of night

There's nothing in sight

Suddenly someone shines a guiding light

Things start lookin' all right

Clutching the promise of a bright and better dawn

You wait for the sun

Oh, you can bury a man when all his dreams are gone

So you just keep holding on

And here's to the lost and lonely dreamers

Struggling to survive

Here's to the true and daily heroes

Keeping our dreams alive

Watching the news you took a bruising body blow

Your guts screaming foul

Madness and mayhem got you on the ropes

Somebody throw in the towel

Just when you feel like going down to end the bout

To stop all this pain

Somebody somewhere shows a ray of hope

And you start punching again

And here's to the lost and lonely dreamers

Struggling to survive

Here's to the true and daily heroes

Keeping our dreams alive

Here's to the young and old crusaders

Battling side by side

Here's to the laughing bright-eyed children

Keeping our hopes alive
