Lyrics

Dream Operator

[Verse 1]

When you were little

You dreamed you were big

You must have been something

A real tiny kid

You wish you were me

I wish I was you

Don't you wake up

The dream will come true

[Chorus]

Every dream has a name

And names tell your story

This song is your dream

You're the dream operator

[Verse 2]

It's bigger than life

You know it's all me

My face is a book

But it's not what it seems

Three angels above

The whole human race

Dreamed us to life

They drеamed me a face

[Chorus]

And еvery dream tells it all

And this is your story

You dreamed me a heart

You're the dream operator

[Bridge]

Shake-it-up dream

Hi-dee-ho dream

Fix-it-up dream

Look at me dream

I've been waiting so long

Now I am your dream

[Verse 3]

Hard to forget

Hard to go on

When you fall asleep

You're out on your own

Let go of your life

Grab on to my hand

Here in the clouds

Where we'll understand

[Chorus]

And you dreamed it all

And this is your story

Do you know who you are?

You're the dream operator

Oh, and you dreamed it all

And this is your story

Do you know who you are?

You're the dream operator
