This poem is by an unknown author, but when I read it, I thought to myself that either the person that wrote it had to know Il Volo, or that the guys themselves had to have written it, because it was just so perfectly right on. ~Kitty
Hold on to Your Dreams
There’s a voice that calls to some of us,
from somewhere deep inside,
A voice that will not give us peace,
until at least we’ve tried,
To catch that bright elusive star,
though foolish it may seem,
to those not driven as we are, to hold on to a dream.
It’s not just thoughts of fame and wealth,
that keeps us hanging on,
when others would have given up, when all but hope is gone.
When sometimes even hope grows dim,
and casts it’s faintest beam,
we wonder if it’s worth it all, to hold on to a dream.
And then that voice inside of us,
that others cannot know,
tells us that our chance will come,
that we must not let go.
If we can only persevere, someday our star will gleam,
and they’ll know why we had to try,
TO HOLD ON TO OUR DREAM!
Thanks Kitty…perfect! ~M

Stevie Wonder sing song Hold On To Your Dream,I like the words of this song. 🙂
In life we have our pains and sorrows
Face mountains we think we can’t climb
Nothing can there’s always tomorrow
You feel like giving up, you say you’re out of luck
But then you hear a voice in your mind
Telling you to
Hold on to your dream
Cause they’re always worth having
Hold on to your dream
Like a father to his son
Don’t let anyone ever steal your joy from you
Hold on to your dream
’till the day that life is said and done
This world is filled peaks and valleys
With rivers we think we can’t cross
To busy keeping sorrows telling
You say you’re at you’re in
You say you never win
But then a light comes on in your mind
Till you
Hold on to your dream
Cause they’re always worth having
Hold on to your dream
Like a father to his son
Don’t let anyone ever steal your joy from you
Hold on to your dream
Until the day that life is said and done
If you wanna hold on to something
You better hold on to your dreams
If you want to hold on to something
You’ve gotta hold to your love
To your love
So if they try to burst your bubble
It’s cons they haven’t done ’em all
And when you feel you are in trouble
Hold your head up high and feel your heart inside
And know that you are never alone
Just as long as you
Hold on to your dream
Cause they’re always worth having
Hold on to your dream
Like a father to his son
Don’t let anyone ever steal your joy from you
Hold on to your dream
’till the day that life is said and done
Hold on to your dream
Cause they’re always worth having
Hold on to your dream
Like a mother to her child
Don’t let anyone ever steal your dreams from you
Hold on to your dream
And do your best to always wear a smile
Hold on to your dream. 🙂
They are holding on and succeeding beyond their wildest dreams. 🙂
I think they knew when they adopted the name “Il Volo”. They knew that they would fly so high that they would “touch the face of God”. (With Thanks to John Gillespie Magee, Jr., “High Flight”.)
Thanks, the poem has meaning for so many of us il Volo fans
