Intro : I don't want to be a poet, cause poets drown in lakes And I don't be a sinner and watch the devil dance at my wake. I just want to be a dreamer; a dreamer is wide awake And I just want to be a lover even if my heart has to break. If only we could see the world through the new eyes of a child If only every boy and girl could just stay beautiful and wild And there's probably no saving us, but I wrote this song to try So let’s sing, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la! La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la I don't want to be president, Cause I don't know which side to take And I don't want to be a fortune teller, Cause that’s just tempting faith. And I just want to be a drop of water Fall down in a storm of rain Living life in the deep blue sea And rise back up again If only we could see the world through the new eyes of a child If only every boy and girl could just stay beautiful and wild And there's probably no saving us, but I wrote this song to try So let’s sing, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la! La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la We've got the same desires, burning fires In the middle of my songs. But I'm your gold and silver, won't last forever, So won't you let it go! Cause we were born to be dreamers, dreamers wide awake. We were born to be lovers even if hearts have to break. If only we could see the world through the new eyes of a child If only every boy and girl could just stay beautiful and wild And there's probably no saving us, but I wrote this song to try So let’s sing, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la! La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la So let’s sing, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la! So let’s sing, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
