Dream Big

We got midnight on the late shift
We gotta keep these fires burnin'
'Cause the Northern Union never sleeps
And all night long, up and down the line
We trade dirty jokes and dreams
In Spanish, French and Portuguese

They say when the hands get dirty
Then the soul is clean
(Workin' for the Northern Union)
They say that the smaller you are
Then the bigger you dream
(Workin' for the Northern Union)
And we do dream big

And we dream about women
Layin' down in a bed of silver and gold
Diamonds and castles
In a world we'll never own
Punchin' out early and just goin' home
And when we dream
We dream big
Dream big
We dream big

Well, Nikos, he's from the Phillipines
He speaks English pretty good
And last week Nikos got a union card
And the rest of us laugh and shake our heads
'Cause we know that he ain't legal
But Nikos, he works pretty hard

And he ain't never goin' back
To the PhiIlipines
(Workin' for the Northern Union)
He says when his hands get dirty
Then his soul feels clean
(Workin' for the Northern Union)
Oh, yeah, Nikos works hard

And he dreams about women
Layin' down in a bed of silver and gold
Diamonds and castles
In a world he'll never own
Punchin' out early and just goin' home
And when he dreams
He dreams big
Dream big
Well, he dreams big (big)

We figure
Hey, if you're gonna dream
Then dream big

And we spend our time dreaming
'Bout the other guy's rainbow
Baby, if you're gonna dream
Dream big
Dream big
Dream big

Well, here at the Northern Union
We dream big
We dream big
Dream big

Dream big
Dream big
Dream big
