[Verse 1]
Your boy sits down to write a song
'Cause he thinks he's got somethin' to say
Innocence thinks it can change the world
But the world keeps gettin' in the way

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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
Doubtin' disbelievers
Get outta my way
I bend but I ain't breakin', scared but I ain't shakin'
Baby, you can sleep while I dream
[Verse 3]
Convicted by conviction
They were carvin' out your cross
They came to take your measurements
Just to show you who's the boss

[Pre-Chorus]
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]
Hey, hey, hey
This one's for the dreamers
Hey, hey, hey
Doubtin' disbelievers
Get outta my way
I bend but I ain't breakin', scared but I ain't shakin'
Baby, you can sleep while I dream
Hey, hey, hey
This one's for the breathin'
Hey, hey, hey
Forgotten and the bleedin'
Get outta my way
I may whisper but I'm screamin'
I got angels, I got demons
Baby, you can sleep while I dream
[Bridge]
"I'm not suggestin' 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 wreckin' ball
Good mornin', here's your wake-up call"

[Instrumental Break]

[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
Doubtin' disbelievers
Get outta my way
I bend but I ain't breakin', I'm scared but I ain't shakin'
Baby, you can sleep while I dream
Hey, hey, hey
This one's for the breathin'
Hey, hey, hey
Forgotten and the bleedin'
Get outta my way
I may whisper but I'm screamin'
I got angels, I got demons
Baby, you can sleep while I dream (Hey, hey, hey)
[Outro]
While 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-comin'
(Hey, hey, hey)
I see that train a-comin'
(Hey, hey, hey)
Uh-huh, can you see it? (Hey, hey, hey)
And, baby, you can sleep while I dream
