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?"
|
Chorus:
|
(Hey, hey, hey) This one's for the dreamers
|
(Hey, hey, hey) Doubting disbelievers
|
Get out of my way
|
I bend but I aint' 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 mountaintop
|
Chorus:
|
(Hey, hey, hey) This one's for the dreamers
|
(Hey, hey, hey) Doubting disbelievers
|
Get out of my way
|
I bend but I aint' 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 (Yeah, yeah)
|
Well here's a dose of some reality (Yeah, yeah)
|
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
|
Chorus:
|
(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, when I dream¡¦ and I dream¡¦ I dream¡¦
|
(Hey, hey, hey) I can feel the change a come
|
(Hey, hey, hey) I see that train a coming
|
Can you see it?
