While in these days of quiet desperation As I wander through the world in which I live I search everywhere, for some new inspiration But it's more than cold reality can give If I need a cause for celebration Or a comfort I can use to ease my mind I rely on my imagination And I dream of an imaginary time [Chorus: ] I know that everybody has a dream Everybody has a dream And this is my dream, my own Just to be at home And to be all alone...with you If I believe in all the words I'm saying And if a word from you can bring a better day Then all I have are these games that I've been playing To keep my hope from crumbling away So let me lie and let me go on sleeping And I will lose myself in palaces of sand And all the fantasies that I have been keeping Will make the empty hours easier to stand [Chorus: ] Everybody has a dream... (Repeat)
