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
