Obama & Bruce Springsteen “Working On A Dream” (Vid w/ Lyrics)

Bruce Springsteen, 80,000+ supporters rally for Obama in Cleveland, OH

Springsteen: I look around today and for many Americans today who are losing their jobs, or their homes or seeing their retirement funds disappear, who don’t have health care, who’ve been abandoned in our inner cities… the distance between that dream and that reality has grown greater and more painful than ever. I believe that Senator Obama has taken the measure of that distance in his own life and in his own work…   

Working On A Dream

I hear the nights are long the days are lonely 
I think of you and… I’m working on a dream
I’m working on a dream 

Now the cards I’ve drawn is rough and darkened 
I straightened the back and … I’m working on a dream 
I’m working on a dream (come on) 

I’m working on a dream, though sometimes it feels so far away
I’m working on a dream, and I know it will be mine someday 

Rain pouring down I swing my hammer 
My hands are rough from… working on a dream 
I’m working on a dream (let’s go) 

I’m working on a dream, though trouble can feel like it’s here to stay 
I’m working on a dream, well our love will chase the trouble away 

~whistling~ 

I’m working on a dream, though it can feel so far away 
I’m working on a dream, our love will make it real someday 

The sun rises up, I climb the ladder 
A new day breaks and… I’m working on a dream 
I’m working on a dream 
I’m working on a dream 
I’m working on a dream 

I’m working on a dream, though it can feel so far away 
I’m working on a dream, our love will make it real someday 
I’m working on a dream, oh it can feel so far away 
I’m working on a dream, and our love will make it real someday
