While In These Days Of Quiet Desperation
As I Wander Through The World In Which I Live
I Search Everywhere For Some New Inspiration
But It's More Than Cold Reality Can Give
If I Need A Cause For Celebration
Or A Comfort I Can Use To Ease My Mind
I Rely On My Imagination
And I Dream Of An Imaginary Time

CHORUS
I Know That Everybody Has A Dream
Everybody Has A Dream
And This Is My Dream, My Own
Just To Be At Home
And To Be All Alone...with You

If I Believe In All The Words I'm Saying
And If A Word From You Can Bring A Better Day
Then All I Have Are These Games That I've Been Playing
To Keep My Hope From Crumbling Away
So Let Me Lie And Let Me Go On Sleeping
And I Will Lose Myself In Palaces Of Sand
And All The Fantasies That I Have Been Keeping
Will Make The Empty Hours Easier To Stand

CHORUS
