I am a dreamer I am a dreamer I dream that we have no woes All are friends and no foes I dream that I can fly And I am neither flustered nor shy I dream that every one is happy There are no slackers and all are sappy I dream that there is no evil And every one live at freewill No terrorism, no persecution, no deceit Oh, it is sweet coz everyone is discreet Impossible is nothing If one pursues unwavering If you believe in yourself and do it It is yours – finish line and lime light One should never give up Whatever may come up I am a dreamer An optimistic dreamer ( Look at the sky.
