For the Dreamers

So this one's for the dreamers
 Whoever tried to make it
 Though very few, ever breakthrough
 We celebrate them when they do
 Lionize them, call them great
 Tic-a-tape parade them
 But this one's for the dreamers
 Who strive to be a winner
 Go as far as they can take it
 Even if they don't quite make it
 This one's for the dreamers
 Let's hear it for the dreamers
 Who never stop believing
 One grain of sand becomes a pearl
 A great idea can change the world
 They can see what others don't
 Try things others won't
 So this one's for the dreamers
 Who live on inspiration
 Go as far as they can take it
 Even if they don't quite make it
 This one's for the dreamers
 And I know what it's like
 To be misunderstood
 And I know how it feels
 To be told you're no good
 But I couldn't give up
 Though, I never would
 But people just took advantage of me
 My distractions just consumed me
 But for everyone that gets it right
 Thousands more keep up the fight
 They burn the fires deep in the night
 Until they lose the light
 And most just disappear
 And we never hear of them
 So this one's for the dreamers
 Who have the guts to risk it
 To take a chance on what they think
 Can't stare them down
 'Cause they don't blink
 Ridicule them, call them out
 No one sees what they're about
 Yes, this one's for the dreamers
 Whose names we don't remember
 They were close, but no cigar
 And we don't know who they are
 This one's for the dreamers
 This one's for the dreamers
 Like me
