There was a time and place
not far from here and now
maybe a brighter day
maybe they had it made somehow
living for there and then
under a psychadelic spell
no one was listening
still they had so much to tell

whatever happened to the dreamers
they always look beyond the sky
saw a world they could believe in
but only when they close their eyes

there were the politcians
men of the cloth, painters and poets
starting a revolution
without even knowing it
making the world around us
making heaven and hell
saying so much about us
still they had so much to tell

whatever happened to the dreamers
they always looked beyond the sky
saw a world they could believe in
but only when they close their eyes

where are they now
they've all left town
bringing the clouds

whatever happened to the dreamers
they always look beyond the sky
saw a world they could believe in
but only when they close their eyes
but only when they close their eyes

Why are we on our own, why are we on our own

nothings ever been this way before
a dream is just a dream and nothing more
nothings ever been this way before
a dream is just a dream and nothing more

Dreamers have mountains they will climb
There are dreamers who don't believe in time
Only dreamers have worlds where they can fly far away.

Certain dreamers have kingdoms they will build,
Filled with treasures and dragons to be killed
Only dreamers have wings with which to fly far away.

Some people dream of being rich,
While others dream of being tall
And there are people who don't dream at all.

Dreamers have shooting stars they chase,
There are others with nightmares they must face.
Sometimes dreamers are forced to leave their dreams far away.

And there are people who don't dream at all.

Sometimes you need to take the time
To find treasures and mountains we can climb.
And maybe we dream to change the way that we feel,
'Cause to dreamers the real world can be unreal.

Just turn around
Turn away from me
Before I lose my head
Just turn around
But remember me
And how you left me dead inside

We were
Gonna be different
Now where did those
Dreamers go

I was the one who would paint the stars
And watch you while you slept
You were the one who held my heart
And smiled as it leapt inside

We were
Gonna be different
Now where did those
Dreamers go
Well I guess they died
We got older
And when you lied
Didn't have to

I don't know where I should go from here
Cause I never expected this of us
I'm only hanging on by a string
I don't know anything anymore
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
You didn't have to
Didn't have to
