You Can Sleep While I Dream Lyrics

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?" Chorus: (Hey, hey, hey) This one's for the dreamers (Hey, hey, hey) Doubting disbelievers Get out of my way I bend but I aint' 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 mountaintop Chorus: (Hey, hey, hey) This one's for the dreamers (Hey, hey, hey) Doubting disbelievers Get out of my way I bend but I aint' 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 (Yeah, yeah) Well here's a dose of some reality (Yeah, yeah) 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 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) 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, when I dream? and I dream? I dream? (Hey, hey, hey) I can feel the change a come (Hey, hey, hey) I see that train a coming Can you see it? Baby, you can sleep while I dream
