Gazing through the window at the world outside
Wondering will Mother Earth survive
Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her, sometime

After all there's only just the two of us
And here we are still fighting for our lives
Watching all of history repeat itself, time after time

I'm just a dreamer, I dream my life away
I'm just a dreamer, who dreams of better days

I watch the sun go down like everyone of us
I'm hoping that the dawn will bring a sign
A better place for those who will come after us, this time

I'm just a dreamer, I dream my life away oh yeah
I'm just a dreamer, who dreams of better days

Your higher power maybe God or Jesus Christ
It doesn't really matter much to me
Without each others help there ain't no hope for us
I'm living in a dream of fantasy, oh yeah yeah yeah!

If only we could all just find serenity
It would be nice if we could live as one
When will all this anger, hate and bigotry be gone?

I'm just a dreamer, I dream my life away (today)
I'm just a dreamer, who dreams of better days (okay)
I'm just a dreamer, who's searching for the way (today)
I'm just a dreamer, dreaming my life away (oh yeah yeah yeah)

Ozzy has always said he was influenced by the Beatles, and once said he was always trying to make his "Sgt. Pepper" album. Well, he is on his way. "Dreamer" is everything John Lennon's "Imagine" ever was and is. Better in my opinion, and I am a Beatles fan.

I agree with you. If you have read Ozzy's book entitled "I Am Ozzy" and have Ozzy's Prince of Darkness 4-disc album he even mentions that Dreamer is his version of John Lennon's Imagine.

R.I.P. John Lennon - December 8, 1980 - the day the world lost peace.

WTF.. all the comments and no one has posted anything about the song meaning? Yes we all know this is a good song, but we don't give a shit about how you and your girlfriend fucked to this song some sunny day. This is Ozzy's vision of a better world for his children. He envisions a place where they are happy and safe. Ozzy compares this to John Lennon's "Imagine," which contains the line, "You might say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one." The Beatles were a big influence on Ozzy, as they also became stars after growing up in a poor section of England. Another reference to John Lennon is the line "After all, there's only just the two of us." This is an acknowledgment of the Beatles song "Two of Us." That is what it really means.. but what does it mean to you?

I wonder where I can find the piano chords for this song. It's a really great song to learn.
