Some people are dreamers, they live for the future As if it would work out, just as they dreamed it Would work out - somehow Others get caught in, yesterday's papers Too busy reading, to get on with living But I - live for now Sometimes it's easy to make up excuses On the flimsiest pretext and then call them reasons But where are they now? Like I'm way too busy, I can't be involved now And then there's the standby about understanding But they're - wrong somehow I'll climb more than a mountain Swim more than an ocean Build up an island Live for a lifetime Just give me a reason and I'll come running When I have reasons, I know the way I'm pointing my feet in the right direction Give me a reason Some people are dreamers, they live for the future As if it would work out, just as they dreamed it Would work out - somehow
