From the recording I'm On Your Side
This song has now been covered at least 6 times that I know of, but Jennifer's cover has gotten the most distribution so far.
Lyrics
Stay strong, I tell myself
When things are going wrong
Those times I long to be a winner
As I see my chances growing dimmer
I hold onto a memory
Small one, my mother said
Your life has just begun
You’ll see the rage of stormy weather
But there’s rainbows there and things will soon get better
So hang on... cause
There’s a dream out there with your name on it
There’s a wish somewhere just waiting for you
There’s a star in the night whose light will be shining brighter
When that dream with your name on it... comes true
Stand tall, don’t be afraid
You’re sure to find your way
And when that voice that’s deep inside you
Says to take a chance, that’s what you’ve gotta do
Follow your heart, go where it leads you, it’s telling you
There’s a dream out there with your name on it
There’s a song somewhere to lighten your heart
There’s a strength from within that you can depend on
When it seems that your schemes are falling through
There’s a dream out there with your name on it
There’s a wish somewhere just waiting for you
There’s a star in the night whose light will be shining brighter
When that dream with your name on it comes true
