Lyrics

(A)While in these (D)days

of qui et des per (F#m)a tion,

and as I (Bm)wan der through the (Bm7)world in which I (E)live.

then I search (G)ev ’ry where for (A)some new in spi (Bm)ra tion,

but it’s (E)more than cold re (E)al i ty can (Em7)give.

(A7)So If I (D)need

a cause for cel e (F#m)bra tion,

and or a (Bm)com fort I can (Bm7)use to ease my (E)mind,

And I re (A)ly on my im ag i (Bm)na tion

will and I (E)dream of an i (E)mag i nar y (A9sus)time.

Whoa,

now I (A9sus)know that (D)ev ’ry bod y (F#m7)has a (G)dream,

(D)ev ’ry bod y (F#m7)has a (G)dream,

(D)ev ’ry bod y (F#m7)has a (G)dream.

(F#m)This is my (Bm)dream,

(G)my

(F#m)own

just to (Bm)be

(G)at

(F#m)home

and to (Bm)be

(G)all a (F#m)lone

with a (Em7)you.

If I be (D)lieve

in all the words I’m (F#m)say ing

and if a (Bm)word from you can (Bm7)bring a bet ter (E)day,

then all I (G)have ’ry are these (A)games that I’ve been (Bm)play ing

but to (E)keep my hope from (E)crum i bling a (Em7)way.

(A7)So let me (D)lie,

and let me go on (F#m)sleep ing,

and I will (Bm)lose my self in (Bm7)pal ac es of (E)sand.

And all the (A)fan that I im have been (Bm)keep ing

will make the (E)emp ty hours i (E)eas i er to (A9sus)stand.

Whoa,

now I (A9sus)know that (D)ev ’ry bod y (F#m7)has a (G)dream,

(D)ev ’ry bod y (F#m7)has a (G)dream,

(D)ev ’ry bod y (F#m7)has a (G)dream.

(F#m)This is my (Bm)dream,

(G)my

(F#m)own

just to (Bm)be

(G)at

(F#m)home

and to (Bm)be

(G)all a (F#m)lone

All a (Em7)you.

If I be (Em7)lone with you.
