You Can Sleep While I Dream Lyrics - Bon Jovi

You're boy sits down to write a song 'cause he thinks he's got something to say 

Innocence thinks it can change the world but the world keeps getting in the way 

It's a small list for the optimist who believes that he can fly 

In a long line full of pessimists to stop him every time he tries 

Some people see things as they are and ask,"why?" 

I dream things that never were, I take my shot and say, "why not?" 

Chorus: 

(Hey, hey, hey) This one's for the dreamers 

(Hey, hey, hey) Doubting disbelievers 

Get out of my way 

I bend but I aint' breaking 

Scared but I ain't shaking 

Baby, you can sleep while I dream 

Convicted by convictions, they were carving out your cross 

They came to take your measurements just to show you who's the boss 

Until I reach that promised land I won't stop 

When I get there I'll shake your hand so meet me on that mountaintop 

Chorus: 

(Hey, hey, hey) This one's for the dreamers 

(Hey, hey, hey) Doubting disbelievers 

Get out of my way 

I bend but I aint' breaking 

Scared but I ain't shaking 

Baby, you can sleep while I dream 

(Hey, hey, hey) This one's for the breathing 

(Hey, hey, hey) Forgotten and the bleeding 

I may whisper but I'm screaming 

I got angels, I got demons 

Baby, you can sleep while I dream 

I'm not suggesting that you fly with me (Yeah, yeah) 

Well here's a dose of some reality (Yeah, yeah) 

You're swinging at a change-up, boy you better shape up, here comes the wrecking 

ball 

Good morning, here's your wake-up call 

Chorus: 

(Hey, hey, hey) I feel the change a comin' 

(Hey, hey, hey) See that train a comin' 

(Hey, hey, hey) This one's for the dreamers 

(Hey, hey, hey) Doubting disbelievers 

Get out of my way 

I bend but I ain't breaking 

I'm scared but I ain't shaking 

Baby, you can sleep while I dream 

(Hey, hey, hey) This one's for the breathing 

(Hey, hey, hey) The dying and the bleeding 

Get out of my way 

I may whisper but I'm screaming 

I got angels, I got demons 

Baby, you can sleep while I dream, when I dream... and I dream... I dream... 

(Hey, hey, hey) I can feel the change a come 

(Hey, hey, hey) I see that train a coming 

Can you see it?
