Roger Bart - For the Dreamers Lyrics
[1955 Doc Brown]
So this one's for the dreamers
Whoever tried to make it
Though very few ever break through
We celebrate them when they do
Lionise them, call them great
Ticker-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; no, 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 or 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...
