I grew up the daughter of a working man
A mile from the textile mill
I saw the years callous my father's hands
To see his dreams fulfill
He wanted to give us more than
The future he never had
Now it's strange to think
How far I've come
From the mill where it all began
Everybody's got a dream
Above the noise of the factory
Everybody's got a dream
My father said to me
The time it does go slowly
But it's more than thread I weave
Everybody's got a dream
Keeping time with the big machine
I went back to see the old place again
The said the mill shut down last June
Father wasn't here to see me
But his dream for us came true
The spinning wheels no longer turned
But the wire was cast for life
He taught me something I could only learn
Looking in my father's eyes
Everybody's got a dream
Above the noise of the factory
Everybody's got a dream
My father said to me
The time it does go slowly
But it's more than thread I weave
Everybody's got a dream
Keeping time with the big machine
Everybody's got a dream
Keeping time with the big machine
Everybody's got a dream
Everybody's got a dream
