(VERSE)
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
((BRIDGE))
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
(VERSE)
Convicted by convictions, they were carving out your cross
They came to take your measurements just to show you who's the boss
((BRIDGE))
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
(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
(((BRIDGE)))
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'
((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
(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?
Baby, you can sleep while I dream
