Lyrics

The Dream

Waiting in line

Thought about leaving, but for real this time

Some redesign of a classic theme of western scene

What everyone wants

Is the same thing that everyone wants

What everyone needs

Is a place to be what everyone else wants to be

What do you want to be?

It could be the best in some wild wild ways

You could be the best in some wild wild ways

Isn't that the dream?

Isn't that the dream?

I'm chasing the sun

I’m chasing something even if it’s been done

Follow the one

But at 66, I want to feel like this

Make me feel like this

It could be the best in some wild wild ways

You could be the best in some wild wild ways

Isn't that the dream?

Isn't that the dream?

Isn't that the dream?

Isn't that the dream?
