How does dreaming feel?
I bet you think you're a dreamer.
I bet you think you're smart too.
Cause you read your books, or perfected your looks.
Well, let me tell you, you're not.
You think you're a person
You think you're really smart.
You think that you're special,
Because you have a soul, and a heart.
You don't know what dreaming is.
You don't know, not for real.
Until you can describe to me perfectly
How dreaming on the heart feels.
I know what dreaming is,
And let me tell you, I'm a dreamer.
I've spent years alone in my mind,
And my heart couldn't be cleaner.
I know what is to be a person.
To truly live in this life.
It's pain and it's gain and it's love and it's loss,
but most of all it's feeling right.
You'll never be a dreamer
Not in the state you're in.
You're weighed down by the world and it's consequences
And weighed down by your sin.
Being a dreamer, it's just about dreaming
And knowing that life itself is a dream.
And it's not the words that matter,
It's what they really mean.
When you can tell me what tongue dragons speak in
When you've danced with burning stars,
When you've listened to the heart of the universe,
When you've swum with fish through tar,
Then maybe you'll be a dreamer.
Maybe you'll be able to shape the world.
Maybe you'll join me, here at the middle,
and take flight, mind finally unfurled.
But for now you dance lifelessly
You don't know how to dream.
You're not really a person when you can't compose your own music
When you don't know how to dream.
When you become the Creator.
When you hold your world in your hands.
When you come to me again, this time with demands.
When you know true love and friends.
I'll know that youre a dreamer.
That you're awake and asleep like me.
I'll know that you're a dreamer.
And that you'll dream with me.
Because life is dream, my friend
And if being a dreamer is about dreaming
All I'm asking you to do now,
Is to actually live your life with me.
I'm asking you to never hold back,
your heart your pain your love;
Keep no secret out of shame, hide no scar out of hate
Set it free, let it run.
Dream with me, fellow dreamers,
Take this life for a spin
Don't play it safe, don't keep it cool,
Just love the life you live in
Love it, and live it,
Dream and make it real.
This life is ours to shape and mold
So tell me, Dreamer, how does dreaming feel?
