lyrics

Wake Up & Dream - words & music by Richard Dance, © 2016

V1
When I was a child runnin’ free and wild
Didn’t have a care roamed everywhere
The teacher told me to sit stiff and still
And the boss man said I gotta work like hell

Pre 1
People try to tell me how to be
But it sure don’t feel like me

Chorus 1
I gotta wake up and dream, yeah
Say goodbye to the big machine
Gotta wake up and dream
And rise like cream....c'mon

V2
Well I’ve been asleep for much too long
I been livin' in the tug of right and wrong
I forgot to see, the magic inside of me
If I don't do it now it might all be gone

Pre 2
Gonna open my eyes and see what's real
And do what it takes to cut a brand new deal

Chorus 2
I gotta wake up and dream
Say goodbye to the big machine
Gotta wake up and dream
And rise like cream

Bridge
The well goes way down low (Ooo's)
How far down can I go? (Ooo's)
If I keep on dreamin' it’ll turn out fine
There’s bound to be some gold further down the line
Bound to be some gold further down the line (+1)
Bound to be some gold further down the line (+2)

Chorus 3 (same Ch 2)

Outro
C'mon people
Won't you wake up and dream
C'mon and wake up and dream
Let's dream now
