Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Some people are dreamers, they live for the future
As if it would work out, just as they dreamed it
Would work out somehow
Others get caught in, yesterday's papers
Too busy reading to get on with living
But I, I live for now
[Verse 2]
Sometimes it's easy to make up excuses
On the flimsiest pretext and then call them reasons
But where, where are they now?
Like I'm way too busy, I can't be involved now
And then there's the standby about understanding
But they're, they're wrong somehow
[Verse 3]
I'll climb more than a mountain
Swim more than an ocean
Build up an island
I'll live for a lifetime
[Verse 4]
Just give me a reason and I'll come running
When I have reasons, I know the way
I'm pointing my feet in the right direction
Give me a reason
[Verse 5]
Some people are dreamers, they live for the future
As if it would work out just as they dreamed it
Would work out somehow
[Verse 6]
Oh, I'll climb more than a mountain
Swim more than an ocean
Build up an island
I'll live for a lifetime
[Verse 7]
Just give me a reason and I'll come running
When I have reasons, I know the way
I'm pointing my feet in the right direction
Give me a reason
[Verse 8]
Yeah, I'm pointing my feet in the right direction
When I have reasons, I know the way
Just give me a reason and I'll come running
Give me a reason
