I dream of escaping,
Sit eager and waiting, to be set free from this slave thing
Believers are fading, it seems their dreams are coming apart hard at the seems and deflating
Not mine I stay focused
Crave notice, not looking to be the kid who said he came closest
For fame chasers the game is hopeless,
Lame and bogus blokes can't face ferocious ... Conditions and odds,
The inefficient mob are not sufficient for the listening squad
They'd make good golfers, constantly below par
Love to kill so much their own hearts are in their holsters
Now that's Asian, Black and White lies
Even if you were dressing me you couldn't pull the wool over my eyes
Watch the temperature gauge, set to raise a couple of centigrade
While all the rest are trying to acclimatise
They say I'm psyched live,
And when I write the results are colourful patterns like the page has been tie dyed
See my name up in lights in the night sky, doesn't apply to me
You have to be dry to be idolised
But that's by the by,
I'm more concerned with spreading love through soul music and taking care of my firefly
Imagination is all I'm needing to give me wings
Limiting the negative, take me to the required high
Keep dreaming, keep reaching for your chosen path, your freedom
Keep dreaming, keep reaching for the goals that you believe in
Work for no reward
Plot the course for this boat of yours
Sail life's sea reach lowly shores
With no wind to push you along, try and row with oars
Aspirations that can weigh you down get thrown overboard
Constantly preparing to capsize
Conditions chastise, looming ahead black skies
What lies in wait could be a nasty surprise
But you sense there's calm waters slightly past the horizon
So you hit the waves and ride em
Hoping it's not another escape from Poseidon
Some pray stay silent,
Some make it through the heavy storm and the success rate heightens
But too many get washed away and often stay,
Floating downstream as driftwood with not a lot to say
Not me man I flow with the current
And watch em try and fight the tide when they know that they couldn't
Keep dreaming, keep reaching for your chosen path, your freedom
Keep dreaming, keep reaching for the goals that you believe in
Keep dreaming, keep reaching for, the goals that you believe in
Keep dreaming, keep reaching for, the goals that you believe in
Keep dreaming, keep reaching for, the goals that you believe in
Keep dreaming, keep reaching for, the goals that you believe in
Keep dreaming, keep reaching for your chosen path, your freedom
Keep dreaming, keep reaching for the goals that you believe in
