Everything's so small when you're on top of the world
It's hard to understand what's still yet to unfold
Pretending to be who you're not is a waste of what you've got

Keep dreaming, keep dreaming, keep dreaming
Keep on, keep believing

We are the kings and queens of hearts that break
We may fall in between the cracks
Living life like it's just a game of blackjack
I don't know how but we always find our way back
Looking back when I was just a little girl with a big dream living in a lonely world
It seems life is impossible so believe that you're unstoppable
Hey!

We are stars and
We are open-hearted
We are lovers
We are into loving
We are stars and
We are open-hearted
We are lovers
We are built for loving

It's hard to see the light when you're caught up in your life
You're scared and insecure cuz now it's fight or flight
Can't think of giving up
You don't know how much you're loved

Keep dreaming, keep dreaming, keep dreaming
Keep on, keep believing

We are the kings and queens of hearts that break
We may fall in between the cracks
Living life like it's just a game of blackjack
I don't know how but we always find our way back
Looking back when I was just a little girl with a big dream living in a lonely world
It seems life is impossible so believe that you're unstoppable
Hey!

We are stars and
We are open-hearted
We are lovers
We are into loving
We are stars and
We are open-hearted
We are lovers
We are built for loving
