Break me in, like a shoe brand new
Walk me around the city
I got soul thick like a boot
Treading snow and water

Well, baby, I'm a dreamer
I've got a dream

Take me off your selfish feet
I've got no laces for haters

Well, baby, I'm a dreamer
I've got a dream
And maybe I believe in something
Just like you never did
You want to bring me down
That's the price of a dream
And the dream is the love I've found

Do not drop, handle careful
I'm a fragile instrument
Play me slow like a fiddle
Strumming light and free

Well, baby, I'm a dreamer
I've got a dream
And maybe I believe in something
Just like you never did
You want to bring me down
That's the price of a dream
And the dream is the love—

I've been swallowed, spit out, yeah
I've been freed
I've been angry and impatient
Oh, I couldn't breathe
Didn't you know me
Didn't you know I'd be
Better off lonely
Better off alone
With a dream?
Dream on, dream on

Well, baby, I'm a dreamer, I've got a dream
Maybe I believe in something
Just like you never did
You want to bring me down
That's the price of a dream
And the dream is the love
It's the price of a dream
And the dream is my love
My love
It's my love
My love
