For the Dreamers

So this one's for the dreamers Whoever tried to make it Though very few, ever breakthrough We celebrate them when they do Lionize them, call them great Tic-a-tape parade them But this one's for the dreamers Who strive to be a winner Go as far as they can take it Even if they don't quite make it This one's for the dreamers Let's hear it for the dreamers Who never stop believing One grain of sand becomes a pearl A great idea can change the world They can see what others don't Try things others won't So this one's for the dreamers Who live on inspiration Go as far as they can take it Even if they don't quite make it This one's for the dreamers And I know what it's like To be misunderstood And I know how it feels To be told you're no good But I couldn't give up Though, I never would But people just took advantage of me My distractions just consumed me But for everyone that gets it right Thousands more keep up the fight They burn the fires deep in the night Until they lose the light And most just disappear And we never hear of them So this one's for the dreamers Who have the guts to risk it To take a chance on what they think Can't stare them down 'Cause they don't blink Ridicule them, call them out No one sees what they're about Yes, this one's for the dreamers Whose names we don't remember They were close, but no cigar And we don't know who they are This one's for the dreamers This one's for the dreamers Like me
