I Dreamed I 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.
Look before you leap, okay?
(Where do we move with each step?)
Do you read me?
(Did I drift?)
May all your dreams come true
(Do I dream?)
He's standing by the door
(Do you read me?)
He's got something in his hands
(I'm not speaking)
All the money's gone
(Do you read me?)
All the money's gone
(I dream)
The days we spent go on and on
(hah)
Shift
Fucking youth
(I dream, I'm not speaking)
Working youth
May all your dreams come true
(Sounds today, I hear the sound today, I hear the sound of today)
A lot of people suffer from impotence
(Sounds today, I hear the sound today, I hear the sounds of today)
All the money's gone
(Today)
(These things don't happen automatically)
The days we spent go on and on
(The dream)
Fucking youth
Working youth
Fucking youth
(You did move with each step)
Working youth
(The days we spent go on and on)
Fucking youth
(I dream)
Working youth
(Do you read me?)
