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?"

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?
