I’ve got dreams in my head
That come to life every night
When I lay my head on that pillow
And shut my eyes tight.
In real life though,
I don’t always see
The results that seem so perfect
In my dreamland of make believe.
But when I’m feeling down and blue,
I remember these words my daddy told me,
He would always say, “Chin up little soldier,
Keep the faith and keep on diggin’.
You’ll win some, and you’ll lose some,
But nothing can take away
Your strong heart and iron will,
Yeah, you’ll win some, and you’ll lose some”.
I was always told to dream big,
And that’s exactly what I do,
And though some dreams have failed me,
I will keep dreamin’ ‘til I win them all.
But when I’m feeling down and blue,
I remember these words my daddy told me,
He would always say, “Chin up little soldier,
Keep the faith and keep on diggin’.
You’ll win some, and you’ll lose some,
But nothing can take away
Your strong heart and iron will,
Yeah, you’ll win some, and you’ll lose some”.
I’ve lost some along the way,
But I get back up and keep on going,
I will win it all in the end
Because nothing can take my fight away.
And when I’m feeling down and blue,
I remember these words my daddy told me,
He would always say, “Chin up little soldier,
Keep the faith and keep on diggin’.
You’ll win some, and you’ll lose some,
But nothing can take away
Your strong heart and iron will,
Yeah, you’ll win some, and you’ll lose some”.
Yeah, just like my daddy told me,
I’ll win some, and I’ll lose some.
