[Verse 1] I wore my doubt like a coat Heavy on my shoulders Clocked in late, left early With a fire getting older But I kept that map in my pocket Creased up, still mine Every wrong turn taught me How to read the signs [Pre-Chorus] I was scared, I was small Still I stood back up One more crack in the wall One more name on my cup If the door stays shut I learn to knock it loose I got miles in my bones And a sky to move [Chorus] Chasing dreams, chasing dreams I won't stop, I won't freeze Chasing dreams, chasing dreams Till they call my name in the trees If I fall, I get up If I break, I shine through Chasing dreams, chasing dreams That's what I was born to do (born to do) [Verse 2] My hands got rough from the climb My shoes got thin at the seams I watched the good days pass by Still I chased what I mean Every laugh from the cheap seats Fell flat by the door Now the same crowd leans in close Wanting more and more [Pre-Chorus] I was scared, I was small Still I stood back up One more crack in the wall One more name on my cup If the door stays shut I learn to knock it loose I got miles in my bones And a sky to move [Chorus] Chasing dreams, chasing dreams I won't stop, I won't freeze Chasing dreams, chasing dreams Till they call my name in the trees If I fall, I get up If I break, I shine through Chasing dreams, chasing dreams That's what I was born to do (born to do) [Bridge] I don't need permission I don't need a sign I got every scar And I still got time So I run toward the morning With my whole chest open wide If the world says "wait" I say "watch me" and I drive [Chorus] Chasing dreams, chasing dreams I won't stop, I won't freeze Chasing dreams, chasing dreams Till they call my name in the trees If I fall, I get up If I break, I shine through Chasing dreams, chasing dreams That's what I was born to do (born to do)
