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 wayIt'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 dreamConvicted 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 topHey
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 dreamI'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)
I dream
(Hey
hey
hey)(Hey
hey
