Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When you were little you dreamed you were big
You must have been something, a real tiny kid
You wish you were me, I wish I was you
Don't you wake up, this dream will come true
[Verse 2]
And every dream has a name
And names tell your story
This song is your dream
You're the dream operator
[Verse 3]
Bigger than life, you know it's all me
My face is a book, but it's not what it seems
Three angels above, the whole human race
They dream us to life, they dream me a face
[Verse 4]
And every dream tells it all
And this is your story
You dreamed me a heart
You're the dream operator
[Verse 5]
Shake it up dream
Hi-di-ho dream
Fix it up dream
Look at me dream
I've been waitin' so long
Now I am your dream
[Verse 6]
Hard to forget, it's hard to go on
When you fall asleep you're out on your own
Let go of your life, grab onto my hand
Here in the clouds, where we'll understand
[Verse 7]
And you dreamed it all and this is your story
Do you know who you are?
You're the dream operator
Even you dream it all
And this is your story
Do you know who you are?
You're the dream operator
