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

Hey hey hey

And baby you can sleep while I dream
