You Can Sleep While I Dream
by Therion
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
'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
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?
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 aint' breaking
I'm scared but I ain't shaking
Baby, you can sleep while I dream
(Hey, hey, hey) doubting disbelievers
Get out of my way
I bend but I aint' breaking
I'm 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
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
When I get there I'll shake your hand
So meet me on that mountaintop
(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
I'm scared but I ain't shaking
Baby, you can sleep while I dream
(Hey, hey, hey) doubting disbelievers
Get out of my way
I bend but I aint' 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) forgotten 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) forgotten 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
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
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) I see that train a comin'
(Hey, hey, hey) I 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 aint' breaking
I'm scared but I ain't shaking
Baby, you can sleep while I dream
(Hey, hey, hey) doubting disbelievers
Get out of my way
I bend but I aint' 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) 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 can see that train a coming
Can you see it?
Baby, you can sleep while I dream
(Hey, hey, hey) I can see that train a coming
Can you see it?
Baby, you can sleep while I dream
