I don't want to be a poet, cause poets drown in lakes
And I don't be a sinner and watch the devil dance at my wake.
I just want to be a dreamer; a dreamer is wide awake
And I just want to be a lover even if my heart has to break.
If only we could see the world through the new eyes of a child
If only every boy and girl could just stay beautiful and wild
And there's probably no saving us, but I wrote this song to try
So let?s sing, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la!
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
I don't want to be president,
Cause I don't know which side to take
And I don't want to be a fortune teller,
Cause that?s just tempting faith.
And I just want to be a drop of water
Fall down in a storm of rain
Living life in the deep blue sea
And rise back up again
If only we could see the world through the new eyes of a child
If only every boy and girl could just stay beautiful and wild
And there's probably no saving us, but I wrote this song to try
So let?s sing, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la!
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
We've got the same desires, burning fires
In the middle of my songs.
But I'm your gold and silver, won't last forever,
So won't you let it go!
Cause we were born to be dreamers, dreamers wide awake.
We were born to be lovers even if hearts have to break.
If only we could see the world through the new eyes of a child
If only every boy and girl could just stay beautiful and wild
And there's probably no saving us, but I wrote this song to try
So let?s sing, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la!
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
So let?s sing, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la!
So let?s sing, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
