Now some people call me a dreamer
As if dreamer is a dirty word
Say I sing a song that few still believe in
And that fewer still have even heard
Say I'm living in a time that is over
Not in the real world of today
That we need more doers, less dreamers
And that folks like me just get in the way
Yet I dream of a world without hunger
I dream of a world without war
Where we live at peace on this earth together
Where the air tastes sweet, the rivers all run clear
Dream it first and it will happen
But if you don't believe that it can
Just leave me to my dreaming
Because I'm happy where I am
[Instrumental]
Yes I dream of a world without hunger
I dream of a world without war
Where we live at peace on this earth together
Where the air tastes sweet, the rivers all run clear
Dream it first and it will happen
But if you don't believe that it can
Just leave me to my dreaming
Because I'm happy where I am.
