A Latin-flavored rock reflection on the struggles and excitement of growing up, and the optimism of dreams not dead, but hiding, featuring slick guitar, keyboards, and a taunting schoolyard chant.

lyrics

I remember back in school
I was such a crazy fool
I didn’t know what avenue to take

And when you got up to dance
You held me close and I took a chance
We fell in love, a true romance
Deaf, dumb and blind to our dreams

I remember back in school
Getting high was so damn cool
We didn’t know what attitude to fake

We were out there fooling around
Trying to run every new game in town
Living fast and loving around
Deaf, dumb and blind to our dreams

Dreams never die
They just run and hide
Somewhere out there with your fears
Dreams never die
They just run and hide
Somewhere out there with your tears

I remember back in school
Skipping class was so damn cool
We didn’t know how many rules to break

And when we woke up in jail
Nobody to pay our bail
Young lust hit a guardrail
Deaf, dumb and blind to our dreams

Dreams never die
They just run and hide
Somewhere out there with your fears
Dreams never die
They just run and hide
Somewhere out there with your tears
