"Dreaming" lyrics

I'm gonna dream until I cannot bring myself to
And given my history that might just be pretty damn long
Oh, I believe people are good and that we are redeemable
I believe that one day we will fix all the things we got wrong
And I know that there is no rough draft of this world that we can scrap away
But I think we can edit the errors if we all just try
Idealistic and flawed, I am young and I'm up by the light of day
How it rises and sets despite all of the damage we've wrought

And I watch from my perch that was built for me
Fly with wings that I've been afforded right up to the top
I gawk then I stop
I know that it's not appropriate for me to sit in

Emotions I should've felt
Cards that I should've dealt
The house never loses so here is my hope
I've had from my birth
I hope it brings comfort, I hope it heals hurt
So here is my hope I've had from my birth
I hope it brings comfort, I hope it heals hurt
And I'll keep on dreaming
Oh, I'll keep on dreaming

I'm gonna work to pass on what I see in unconsciousness
I know that I haven't been fighting as hard as I can
And I know that apologies aren't worth shit in a cosmic sense
I will hit the ground running and stand up for my fellow man
And I recognize villains are real and that they exist everywhere
And their work to kill progress to keep up the status they hoard
Idealistic and flawed, every rook, knight and pawn must unblinkingly stare
With all absent attention till every last piece has been cleared from the board

And I watch from my perch that was built for me
Fly with wings that I've been afforded right up to the top
I gawk then I stop
I know that it's not appropriate for me to sit in

Emotions I should've felt
Cards that I should've dealt
The house never loses so here is my hope
I've had from my birth
I hope it brings comfort, I hope it heals hurt
So here is my hope I've had from my birth
I hope it brings comfort, I hope it heals hurt
And I'll keep on dreaming
Oh, I'll keep on dreaming

I'm gonna dream until I cannot bring myself to
And given my history that might just be pretty damn long
Oh, I believe people are good and that we are redeemable
I believe that one day we will fix all the things we got wrong
