Bon Jovi — You Can Sleep While I Dream

[Intro] You're boy sits down to write a song Because he thinks he's got something to say Innocence thinks it can change the world But the world keeps getting in the way [Verse 1] It's a small list for the optimist who believes that he can fly In a long line full of pessimists to stop him every time he tries Some people see things as they are and ask, why I dream things that never were, I take my shot and say, "Why not?" [Chorus] Hey, hey, hey, this one's for the dreamers Hey, hey, hey, doubting disbelievers, get out of my way I bend but I am not breaking, scared but I am not shaking Baby, you can sleep while I dream [Verse 2] Convicted by convictions, they were carving out your cross They came to take your measurements just to show you who's the boss Until I reach that promised land I won't stop When I get there I'll shake your hand so meet me on that mountain top [Chorus] [Verse 3] (Hey, hey, hey) This one's for the breathing Hey, hey, hey forgotten and the bleeding I may whisper but I'm screaming, I got angels, I got demons Baby, you can sleep while I dream I'm not suggesting that you fly with me Well here's a dose of some reality, you're swinging at a change-up Boy you better shape up, here comes the wrecking ball Good morning, here's your wake-up call [Chorus] (Hey, hey, hey) I feel the change a coming Hey, hey, hey see that train a coming (Hey, hey, hey) This one's for the dreamers Hey, hey, hey doubting disbelievers, get out of my way I bend but I am not breaking, I'm scared but I am not shaking Baby, you can sleep while I dream [Verse 4] (Hey, hey, hey) This one's for the breathing Hey, hey, hey the dying and the bleeding, get out of my way I may whisper but I'm screaming, I got angels, I got demons Baby, you can sleep while I dream [Outro] (Hey, hey, hey) When I dream (Hey, hey, hey) And I dream (Hey, hey, hey) I dream (Hey, hey, hey) (Hey, hey, hey) I can feel the change a coming (Hey, hey, hey) I see that train a coming (Hey, hey, hey) Can you see it?
