Oh, it's lame? How lame. Lame.
Listen to it on its own. It's the quintessential reason that the 1980s was bad. You have the hideously sophomoric lyrical content, the girly-man vibes of Steve Perry's talented but why-does-it-exist voice, Neal Schon (who was actually once cool; he was in Santana when he was only 15!).
Now, look at how it was used recently. The suck factor of this song was so powerful that it managed to ruin The Sopranos all by itself. The terrible ending of the show didn't help, but having that song playing through it just accentuated the suck factor to new dregs that Dyson would love to harness and put in their products.
Journey killed Tony Soprano.

Yes. Open Arms is my favorite Journey song along with Separate Ways. Don't Stop Believin is very overrated if you ask me. ~chocolate lover

My mouse is out of battery but here it goes..
for all of you
Don't Stop Believin'
Journey
Written by Steve Perry/Jonathan Cain/Neal Schon
Performed by Steve Perry
Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train going anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train going anywhere
A singer in a smoky room
The smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
(Chorus)
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night
Working hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
(Chorus)
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlight people
O ooooo....
And hold on to the feeling

Your close 80's "power" ballads are some of the crappiest songs ever. Any song in which a guy sings sappy stuff to pick up chicks sucks.
(I guess they were emo before we knew what emo was. Explains them dressing like chicks)
I think "I want to know what love is" by Foreigner is the worst ever.

That's awful harsh. Journey is fine. The David Hasselhoff album is worse.

I don't think it's the lamest. It's an okay song but that's about it.

Nah - I really liked that song when I was little... The whole album as a matter of fact. It brings back memories!

It wasn't one of their BETTER songs!
However ~ I think the lamest of the genre would have to go to REO Speedwagon's "....and I'm gonna keep on lovin' youuuu, 'cause it's the only thing I wanna doooo, I don't wanna sleep, I just wanna keep on lovin' youuuuu....."
L-A-M-E!!!!!
