Dreamer

I paint my skies in colors they can't see
Carve my truth in lines that set me free
They call it a gift, but it's more than fate
It's the fire inside that we all create

Some keep their spark under lock and key
Trading their light for reality's plea
But the canvas of life is in every hand
It's not just the chosen who can take a stand

We're all born the same way
But most let the world take it away

I'm a dreamer, I'm an artist
But so are you, if you'd only start this
Every soul is a maker in disguise
We're all builders of worlds in our mind's sky
The truth is simple, the truth is clear
We're all creators, we're all right here

Songs in the silence, poems in the rain
Stories in the heart that we can't explain
We're wired for wonder, it's our native tongue
But most never speak it till the last bell's rung

We think creation's for the lucky few
But the same blood flows through me and you
Every choice you make, every word you say
Is another brushstroke on your life's display

We're all born the same way
But most let the world take it away

I'm a dreamer, I'm an artist
But so are you, if you'd only start this
Every soul is a maker in disguise
We're all builders of worlds in our mind's sky
The truth is simple, the truth is clear
We're all creators, we're all right here

You don't need a stage, you don't need a name
You don't need applause to play the game
You just need to feel, to breathe, to try
To open your hands and touch the sky

I'm a dreamer, I'm an artist
But so are you, if you'd only start this
Every soul is a maker in disguise
We're all builders of worlds in our mind's sky
The truth is simple, the truth is near
We're all creators, we're all right here
