Oh what a day I had, I'm high among the clouds up above
I've never been here before, but I believe that I'm in love
As much as I want passion I wanna be her friend
But everybody's saying I'm just dreaming
Hey what a show tonight, the band and I were playing my songs
A ten thousand audience and everybody sang along
I read the news opinion "phenomenal" they said
But everybody's saying I'm just dreaming
When I'm dreaming
They wanna put me down somehow
But I'm just shaking it off
Shaking it off now
Oh when I'm dreaming
They wanna talk reality
But I'm just shaking it off
Shaking it off me
Cause I'll be there someday
I'll be there someday
They spoke on the radio, leaders of the world together
They said now the time is here, when borders disappear
Now you may go wherever, no matter where you're from
But everybody say it's an illusion
When we are dreaming
They wanna put us down somehow
But we're just shaking it off
Shaking it off now
When we are dreaming
They wanna talk reality
But we're just shaking it off
Shake it away
Cause we'll be there someday
But I'm getting sick of all the waiting
I'm scared of what it does to me
I'm afraid if it goes on I'll be forgetting
Places where I dream to be
And honestly I wonder where we're heading
Nowadays I've come to doubt
Cause when everything around us keep on falling
Shouldn't we be helping out?
And I'm like all the others, I'm so caught up with my own
But Im trying hard to be a different kind of man
But then again, I'm aware that I'd be lying
If I said "I do the best I can"
Oh there's always an excuse, a more important thing to choose
We say compassion is a quality we've got
Yeah sure we are compassionate and sure we want to give
But not when there is something to give up
