2.- Lyrics

Gazing through the window at the world outside

Wondering will mother Earth survive

Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her

Sometime

After all there's only just the two of us

And here we are still fighting for our lives

Watching all of history repeat itself

Time after time

(Chorus)

I'm just a dreamer

I dream my life away

I'm just a dreamer

Who dreams of better days

I watch the sun go down like everyone of us

I'm hoping that the dawn will bring a sign

A better place for those Who will come after us ...

This time

(Repeat Chorus)

Your higher power may be God or Jesus Christ

It doesn't really matter much to me

Without each others help there ain't no hope for us

I'm living in a dream of fantasy

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

If only we could all just find serenity

It would be nice if we could live as one

When will all this anger, hate and bigotry ...

Be gone?

I'm just a dreamer

I dream my life away

Today

I'm just a dreamer

Who dreams of better days

Okay

I'm just a dreamer

Who's searching for the way

Today

I'm just a dreamer

Dreaming my life away
