| You’re boy sits down to write a song
|
| 'Cause he thinks he’s got something to say
|
| Innocence thinks it can change the world
|
| But the world keeps getting in the way
|
| It’s a small list for the optimist who believes that he can fly
|
| In a long line full of pessimists to stop him every time he tries
|
| Some people see things as they are and ask, why
|
| I dream things that never were, I take my shot and say, «Why not?»
|
| Hey, hey, hey, this one’s for the dreamers
|
| Hey, hey, hey, doubting disbelievers, get out of my way
|
| I bend but I ain’t breaking, scared but I ain’t shaking
|
| Baby, you can sleep while I dream
|
| Convicted by convictions, they were carving out your cross
|
| They came to take your measurements just to show you who’s the boss
|
| Until I reach that promised land I won’t stop
|
| When I get there I’ll shake your hand so meet me on that mountain top
|
| Hey, hey, hey, this one’s for the dreamers
|
| Hey, hey, hey, doubting disbelievers, get out of my way
|
| I bend but I ain’t breaking, scared but I ain’t shaking
|
| Baby, you can sleep while I dream
|
| (Hey, hey, hey)
|
| This one’s for the breathing
|
| Hey, hey, hey forgotten and the bleeding
|
| I may whisper but I’m screaming, I got angels, I got demons
|
| Baby, you can sleep while I dream
|
| I’m not suggesting that you fly with me Well here’s a dose of some reality, you’re swinging at a change-up
|
| Boy you better shape up, here comes the wrecking ball
|
| Good morning, here’s your wake-up call
|
| (Hey, hey, hey)
|
| I feel the change a comin'
|
| Hey, hey, hey see that train a comin'
|
| (Hey, hey, hey)
|
| This one’s for the dreamers
|
| Hey, hey, hey doubting disbelievers, get out of my way
|
| I bend but I ain’t breaking, I’m scared but I ain’t shaking
|
| Baby, you can sleep while I dream
|
| (Hey, hey, hey)
|
| This one’s for the breathing
|
| Hey, hey, hey the dying and the bleeding, get out of my way
|
| I may whisper but I’m screaming, I got angels, I got demons
|
| Baby, you can sleep while I dream
|
| (Hey, hey, hey)
|
| When I dream
|
| (Hey, hey, hey)
|
| And I dream
|
| (Hey, hey, hey)
