The Dreamer

I am the Dreamer and I say, «I'm dreamin' 'til I’m dead and gone!»
Cuz life is like a breath that fades upon an hourly stage
I am a Dreamer, and I take my pain and put it in another song
You can go on and let your dreams die
But I ain’t stoppin' 'til mine gets justified!
Wish I could count on one hand how many heartaches
In a lifetime I could find from these dirty snakes
The world may never feel me, as I present the real me
But stoppin' is not an option until they pop me and they kill me
You gon' hear me in your thoughts while I got a voice to sing…
The icon of a dream like Martin Luther King
As long as I breathe the devil is gonna tempt me
But I’d rather die tempted than to live this life empty. Seal it
Cuz for the moment haterz are gon' try, but Dreamers don’t die
We leave a legacy to speak in our place
Long after we go down to the grave
But I dream, though it seems…
Everyday it’s just me against everything
Trials are gon' rise until I rise with the King
But I know what it means to defeat their sting
You can tell me that I’m never gonna be nothing
But I’m lovin' every minute cuz I know I’m destined to dream!
I am the Dreamer and I say, «I'm dreamin' 'til I’m dead and gone!»
Cuz life is like a breath that fades upon an hourly stage
I am a Dreamer, and I take my pain and put it in another song
You can go on and let your dreams die
But I ain’t stoppin' 'til mine gets justified!
I’ve been through hell and back… and hell ain’t what I’m plannin' for
I over-stand the pain… but still don’t understand it though
I’ve been persecuted… until I found the antidote
So go on and die for nothing… I’m gon' die for what I’m standing for
Walking through this sea of suffering, but still I persevere
I done cried enough… don’t need no tattooed tears
I’ve been dreaming for years, doubting the man in the mirror
But if God is with me, homie tell me what I got to fear?
I count the cost on the day I was marked by the Cross
I could die tomorrow as a martyr and there’s nothing lost
So you can’t kill me with your weapons, words or prejudice…
How you gonna take my life when God already scheduled it?
Cuz I dream, though it seems…
Everyday it’s just me against everything
And everyday it’s just me against everything
I am the Dreamer and I say, «I'm dreamin' 'til I’m dead and gone!»
Cuz life is like a breath that fades upon an hourly stage
I am a Dreamer, and I take my pain and put it in another song
You can go on and let your dreams die
But I ain’t stoppin' 'til mine gets justified!
I wait for a new day, where everything’s okay and I
Can see my dreams before my eyes… before I die
I’m gon' dream until I’m dead and gone!
I’m gon' dream until I’m dead and gone!
I’m gon' dream until I’m dead and gone!
Cuz I am THE DREAMER
I am the Dreamer and I say, «I'm dreamin' 'til I’m dead and gone!»
Cuz life is like a breath that fades upon an hourly stage
I am a Dreamer, and I take my pain and put it in another song
You can go on and let your dreams die
But I ain’t stoppin' 'til mine gets justified!
