Steven Tyler Delivers Inspiring Rendition of “Dream On” For Rehab Center

Steven’s Message Of Hope For Recovering Addicts

No stranger to the struggles of addiction and substance abuse, Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler was a fantastic choice to perform at Recovery Unplugged, a drug rehab facility that uses the power of music to help treat addiction. Along with words of encouragement to everyone going through the program, Steven brought a message of inspiration with Aerosmith’s iconic power ballad ‘Dream On’.

It’s incredibly powerful, because as someone who has struggled with and escaped the lure of drug addiction, Steven can relate to his intimate audience on a level that’s so incredibly human and genuine.

‘Dream On’ is the quintessential anthem for never giving up and finishing what you started – no matter what. It’s about the hunger to be somebody, regardless of the odds stacked against you.

The best thing about this incredibly intimate performance of ‘Dream On’ is that it’s one that everyone can identify with; even if you’re fortunate enough to never have been lured in by addiction, you can empathize with Steven’s struggle with bad decisions, letting the wrong people in, or just being dealt a bad hand!

+ Dream On lyrics +

Every time when I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by, like dusk to dawn
Isn’t that the way
Everybody’s got the dues in life to pay

I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it’s everybody sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life
Is books, written pages
Live and learn from fools and
From sages
You know it’s true, oh
All these feelings come back to you

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream until your dreams come true
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream until your dreams come true
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on

Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
