While I'm Dreaming

While I'm dreaming
I can just let go
And I see the world as an adventure
Not some dreary sad place
That I have to face
While keeping my fears away
While I'm dreaming
I can be anything that I want to
All my worries disappear
I can go anywhere
Be a girl that who dares
To never back down
From a battle she's scared to lose

So don't wake me up
Don't bring me back
I'm better off here
I'm where I belong
Don't wake me up
I'm lost in that world, but here
I'm a pirate
I'm a queen
I'm a doctor
I am seen
I'm important
I am anything I wanna be

While I'm dreaming
Every challenge is exciting
I am strong in my own skin
I can run with the wind
Taking all of it in
As if tomorrow doesn't exist
While I'm dreaming
I'm unbound and ready for anything
I no longer feel restrained
I can run with the tigers
Swim like a mermaid
Be an artist who paints like
She's not afraid
Of what others might say or feel

So don't wake me up
Don't bring me back
I'm happiest here
I'm where I belong
Don't wake me up
I'm lost in that world, but here
I can fly
I can soar,
I can swim
I am more
Than what people expect me to be

They expect nothing from me
They just need me to stay in the shadows
Is that where I should be?
Hiding in the dark?
What happened to me
Once a girl who was open to anything
Will I always be
Just a voiceless, dreamless nobody?
Am a voiceless, dreamless nobody?
Just a voiceless, dreamless nobody?

So don't wake me up
Don't bring me back
I'm better off here
I'm where I belong
Don't wake me up
I'm lost in that world, but here
I am happy
I am sane
I'm untied
From the pain
My mind has no chains
It's unfettered again

While I'm dreaming
While I'm dreaming
While I'm dreaming
I'm alive
