[Intro]
You're boy sits down to write a song
Because he thinks he's got something to say
Innocence thinks it can change the world
But the world keeps getting in the way
[Verse 1]
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 am not breaking, scared but I am not shaking
Baby, you can sleep while I dream
[Verse 2]
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 mountain top
[Chorus]
