what dreams are made of

<sub>what dreams are made of
all the same stuff
and theyre going
back where they came from
what dreams are made of
theyre made of broken hearts

there was a king, who said he had a dream
and he was looking for his queen
they shot him down, in his balcony

he was a preacher who wanted to be free
the Lord he took him in Memphis Tennessee
they shot him down, shot him out in the streets

what dreams are made of
you make a trade off
when youre awake
your dreams they cannot take off
what dreams are made of
theyre made up in the dark

there was a prophet, sent by God
when he was talking, he drew the mob
they tried to stone him, said they were only doing their job

he was a good man, his works were goodly too
a misunderstood man, but righteous through and through
they crucified him, they didnt know what they were doing

what dreams are made of
the words that they wrote
and since that day,
all repeating them verbatim
what dreams are made of
theyre made of old love songs

oh, dreams, sometimes theyre lonely
oh, dreams, sometimes theyre hard
but hold them when youre close to them
youll miss them when theyre gone

there was singer in a band
he was a digger for gold in distant lands
he hit the big time, so he took it all and ran

once a poor man, now he was rich
a royal foreman with everything to build
he built the whole world, because he wanted dreams to live

what dreams are made of
light and vibrations
and with enough heart
they can make love start
what dreams are made of
theyre made of old love songs
what dreams are made of
theyre made of broken hearts
what dreams are made of
theyre made of dust from the stars</sub>
