The Dreamer Lyrics

It is said that it couldn't work any way else

But by means of a heard mentality

There are the sheep and there is the shepherd

The subversive grazing on banality

How tragic it is that the shaping begins in a box before we've a say

How daring it is for the dreamer to climb outside the box to see his own way

Here's to the dreamer who chases it down

Never giving in to mainstream

Here's to the dreamer with eyes as oars

Never giving in to upstream

Here's to the dreamer who forges the steel

Never giving in to the grain

Here's to the dreamer who walks in all weather

Never giving in to the rain

Here's to the dreamer here's to the dreamer never to dream in vain

Why does the sun always shine on Main Street's big box garish parade

Suffocating the boutique with the unique individual lost there in the shade

Is it a question of character or oppressive rule

That we humans need to be led

Our comfort zone surely pre-constructed

With just another weave of the pattern in the thread

How tragic it is that the shaping begins in a box before we've a say

How daring it is for the dreamer to climb outside the box to see his own way
