Why Do We Have to Dream

I had it all worked out, without a doubt, I knew
I knew my life would go all smooth and slow and true
I had my destiny, what's best for me, in sight
Now if I only didn't have to
Go to sleep at night

Why do we have to dream?
Why did I have to fall?
Why do we have to dre-e-eam, have to dre-eam at all?
Why do I have to say, "Where did I go astray?"
Why do we ha-ave to dre-e-eam, have to dream anyway?

I had a dream or two where me and you were one
There was a wonderland, where, hand in hand, we'd run
I thought my dreams were real, and you could feel like me
Now that I know I'm only dreamin'
Dreams won't let me be

Why do we have to dream?
Why did I have to fall?
Why do we have to dre-e-eam, have to dre-eam at all?
Why do I have to say, "Where did I go astray?"
Why do we ha-ave to dre-e-eam, have to dream anyway?

I got to realize to fantasize is wrong
You're bound to take a fall, you knew it all along
You need a brand-new you, who's learned to do without
But once the light of love gets burnin',
How do you turn it out?

Why do we have to dream?
Why did I have to fall?
Why do we have to dre-e-eam, have to dre-eam at all?
Why do I have to say, "Where did I go astray?"
Why do we ha-ave to dre-e-eam, have to dream anyway?
Why do we ha-ave to dre-e-eam, have to dream anyway?
