Lyrics

Everybody Has A Dream

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

While in these days of quiet desperation

As I wander through the world in which I live

I search everywhere for some new inspiration

But it's more than cold reality can give

If I need a cause for celebration

Or a comfort I can use to ease my mind

I rely on my imagination

And I dream of an imaginary time

I know that everybody has a dream

Everybody has a dream

And this is my dream, my own

Just to be at home

And to be all alone...with you

If I believe in all the words I'm saying

And if a word from you can bring a better day

Then all I have are these games that I've been playing

To keep my hope from crumbling away

So let me lie and let me go on sleeping

And I will lose myself in palaces of sand

And all the fantasies that I have been keeping

Will make the empty hours easier to stand

I know that everybody has a dream

Everybody has a dream

And this is my dream, my own

Just to be at home

And to be all alone...with you
