Lyrics

The Dream and the Dreamer

Earth is gold, the sea is green

The dream belongs to the dreamer

Starlit night, moonlight bright

The dream belongs to the dreamer

Earth is gold, the sea is green

The dream belongs to the dreamer

Live or die, laugh or cry

The dream belongs to the dreamer

Hit for six, not for ten

Straighten out and live again

It's all a fix, it's all pretend

A maze is made, made to have no end

It's all a fix, it's all pretend

Government is not your friend

Earth is gold, the sea is green

The dream belongs to the dreamer

I'm letting the music be the healer

The dream belongs to the dreamer

Fat cat puppeteers

Perpetrating the big fat lie

Hidden in the shadows

Of the city lights

What's normal for the spider

Is chaos for the fly

Death for caterpillar

Birth for the butterfly

All the music makers

All the dreamers of dreams

Livin' in a world

That isn't what it seems

Earth is gold, the sea is green

The dream belongs to the dreamer

Live or die, laugh or cry

The dream belongs to the dreamer

I'm letting the music be the healer

Let the music be the healer

The dream belongs to the dreamer
