Why do we dream

(woo!) Close your eyes when the sun goes down

And a whole new world comes spinning round

You're flying high or you're running late

No map to guide you through the gate

Oh why do we dream when we're fast asleep?

Sailing away on a promise to keep

To touch the stars or to chase the wind

And wake up back where we first begin

(yeah, we do)

We see the faces we used to know

In a theater lit by a silver glow

Is it the mind just cleaning the floor

Or a secret key

to an open door?

Oh why do we dream when we're fast asleep?

Sailing away on a promise to keep

To touch the stars or to chase the wind

And wake up back where we first begin

Why do we dream?

(tell me why, oh why) We're just sailing away
