Everybody Has A Dream Lyrics

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

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

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

i hated this song for a long time, but i was listening to it during my english class one day and realized how wonderful it was at times it ahs moved me to tears

Hated it? Are you insane? It's a BEAUTIFUL tune. And you need to stop listening to music in your English class 'cause you're lacking. (You spelled English without the capital letter:) Seriously, how could you have hated such a sweet tune. It's simple yet poignant.

These lines are some of the laziest, warmest, sunday in the sun lines I've ever heard:

"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 ..."

In my dreams they are both naked btw, and "easier easier to stand" feels like climax.
