I do think GirlinTheCafe is right and the song is about how dreamers are not taken serious these days and people dont accept dreamers anymore. The world just wants realistic people and people who sees things different aren't always welcome or allowed.
Whatever happened to the dreamers
They always look beyond the sky
Where are the dreamers now? Where are they when the world doesn't want them anymore. They where the ones who looked beyond boundries.
Saw a world they could believe in
But only when they close their eyes
They saw a world different from now, with new ideas and maybe a better future. But it isn't realistic so its a dream (close their eyes).
There were the politcians
Men of the cloth, painters and poets
Dreamers are everywhere, in every position.
Starting a revolution
Without even knowing it
Dreamers who thought with other ideas, thought for a better world and by spreading this they could change the world. Even if they don't know it by thereself.
Making the world around us
Making heaven and hell
Saying so much about us
Still they had so much to tell
People with new ideas shape the world, they make "tomorrow". If they got it wrong it will be bad (hell) but if they do it well it would change the world in a positive way (heaven).
The dreamers that imagine new ideas would not always be accepted by the conservative people (saying so mucht about us) but they aren't giving it up (still the had so mucht to tell).
Nothing's ever been this way before
A dream is just a dream and nothing more
But maybe is a dream not capable for changing the world, or is a dream not accepted by the majority of the people.
Just my opinion. Please forgive my English, I come from The Netherlands.
