I've been dreaming of things that could have been
And woke up to a world of things that are
But the memory of the things I've seen
Awoke in me the will to reach for the stars

Dreams don't die of old age
Dreams don't ever leave us
They just play on the backstage
And wait until the time comes

I've been down in the dumps before
Thought I was really done for
But this flame, it still burns inside
Carried me through, showed me I'm more

Chorus...

Know it's time I'm gonna make it
Cause the dreamer and the dream are one
So I just keep my faith
Because I know who I am
I'm a dreamer, I'm a dreamer
