[00:18.95]I don't want to be a poet,
[00:20.45]
[00:21.49]cause poets drown in lakes
[00:24.23]And I don't be a sinner
[00:26.16]and watch the devil dance at my wake.
[00:28.56]
[00:31.51]I just want to be a dreamer;
[00:33.09]
[00:34.12]a dreamer is wide awake
[00:36.43]
[00:37.07]And I just want to be a lover
[00:38.99]even if my heart has to break.
[00:41.31]
[00:42.71]If only we can see the world
[00:46.00]through the new eyes of a child
[00:48.37]If only every boy and girl
[00:51.31]it just ain't beautiful and wild
[00:53.78]
[00:54.29]And there's probably no saving us,
[00:57.42]but I wrote this song to try
[00:59.56]
[01:00.90]So listen, la, la, la, la...
[01:11.55]
[01:23.44]I don't want to be president,
[01:25.18]
[01:26.01]cause I don't know each side to take
[01:28.28]
[01:28.86]And I don't want to be a fortune teller,
[01:31.34]cause it's just tempting faith.
[01:33.20]
[01:35.89]And I just want to be a drop of water
[01:38.68]fall down in a storm of rain
[01:40.83]
[01:41.62]Living life in the deep blue sea
[01:44.02]and rise back up again!
[01:47.34]If only we can see the world
[01:50.58]through the new eyes of a child
[01:53.07]If only every boy and girl
[01:55.90]it just ain't beautiful and wild
[01:58.84]And there's probably no saving us,
[02:01.89]but I wrote this song to try
[02:03.95]
[02:05.49]So listen, la, la, la, la...
[02:15.52]
[02:16.82]We've got the same desires,
[02:20.62]burning fires
[02:23.46]And the middle of my songs.
[02:28.01]But I'm your golden silver,
[02:31.56]won't last forever,
[02:34.02]
[02:34.58]So won't you let it go!
[02:37.78]
[02:40.43]Cause we were born to be dreamers,
[02:41.97]
[02:43.52]dreamers wide awake.
[02:45.61]
[02:46.21]We were born to be lovers
[02:48.12]even if hearts have to break.
[02:50.16]
[02:51.71]If only we can see the world
[02:54.47]
[02:55.11]through the new eyes of a child
[02:57.64]If only every boy and girl
[03:00.51]it just ain't beautiful and wild
[03:02.98]
[03:03.51]And there's probably no saving us,
[03:06.39]but I wrote this song to try
[03:08.69]
[03:09.98]So listen, la, la, la, la...
[03:20.13]
[03:21.24]So listen, la, la, la, la...
[03:27.33]
[03:29.67]So listen, la, la, la, la...
