A Head Full of Dreams (Live in Buenos Aires)
[Intro: Charlie Chaplin]
I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible; Jew, Gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world, there's room for everyone, and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. To those who can hear me, I say, do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. The kingdom of God is within man, not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people, have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure!
A wonderful adventure!
[Verse 1]
Oh, I think I landed
In a world I hadn't seen
When I'm feeling ordinary
When I don't know what I mean
[Verse 2]
Oh, I think I landed
Where there are miracles at work
For the thirst and for the hunger
Come the conference of birds
[Chorus]
Saying it's true, it's not what it seems
Leave your broken windows open
And in the light just streams
You get a head, a head full of dreams
You can see the change you wanted
Be what you want to be
And you get a head, a head full of dreams
Into life, I’ve just been woken
With a head full, a head full of dreams
[Bridge]
Oh, I think I landed
Where there are miracles at work
Now you've got me open-handed
Now you've got me lost for words
I sing oh, whoa, oh, oh
I sing oh, whoa, oh, oh
Oh, whoa, oh, oh
[Outro]
Full of dreams (Oh, whoa, oh, oh)
Into life, I’ve just been spoken
With a head full, a head full of dreams
