These Dreams Lyrics
Paul Foglino Every day I get up and the day beginsAnd every day I dig a hole and I fill it inPeople say, "You're crazy, man, now don't you careBut I know there's treasure buried right down thereI watch my dreams collect like dirt around a poor boy's neckThese dreams shine like diamondsDown in my soulThese dreams shine like diamondsAnd I'm digging for coalSometimes it gets so hard to bearWhen people look at me like I'm not even thereOr ask me what I've got to sayAnd nod their heads like it don't matter anywayThey don't pay me any mind cause I'm too dumb or they're too blindI see people get aheadOr people eating cake instead of daily breadBut I ain't got it all that roughIf dreams don't take me anywhere they seem to take me far enoughIt ain't much but it's okay to sleep all night and dream all day
