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?
