You Can Sleep While I Dream

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?" 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, 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 mountain top 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, 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 Well here's a dose of some reality, 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 (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 (Hey, hey, hey) When I dream (Hey, hey, hey) And I dream (Hey, hey, hey) I dream (Hey, hey, hey) (Hey, hey, hey) I can feel the change a coming (Hey, hey, hey) I see that train a coming (Hey, hey, hey) Can you see it?
