I AM A DREAMER

 I am a dreamer
 Such a lovely thing
 I had a dream
 Has a special ring
 Many mope, wondering
 What is there to do?
 Go find some work; get tired
 Or go crazy like some old fool
  
 Mow your lawn
 Wash your face
 Have a nice lunch
 Don’t forget to say grace
 I am a dreamer
 I sit and dream
 Some think it’s easy
 But it’s not as it seems
  
 I am not someone
 Who has given up
 So much out there to live for
 And many to share the cup
 I dream of trees lit up
 By the early morning sun
 The sky bright in color
 When the day is nearly done
  
 Some complain; it isn’t fair
 Get a life; I don’t care
 Go to the library; a flower shop
 Clean up you mess; use a mop
 I dream
 It’s not a mystery
 I visualize reality
 I witness history
  
 I am a dreamer
 With plenty to do
 I give directions
 For the sake of people like you
 I dream my dreams
 Then make my claims
 If I am wrong
 I’ll take all the blame
  
  
  
  
 I know of possibilities
 Share with those who care
 Follow the plans carefully
 But only if you dare
 Or wallow in self-pity
 The way that many will
 I’ll keep on dreaming
 Never swallow the bitter pill
  
 I am a dreamer
 That’s what dreamers do
 Accomplishments are many
 I dream the same for you
