Gazing through the window at the world outside

Wondering will Mother Earth survive

Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her sometime

After all there's only just the two of us

And here we are still fighting for our lives

Watching all of history repeat itself Time after time

I'm just a dreamer

I dream my life away

I'm just a dreamer

Who dreams of better days

I watch the sun go down like everyone of us

I'm hoping that the dawn will bring a sign

A better place for those who will come after us This time

I'm just a dreamer

I dream my life away, oh, yeah

I'm just a dreamer

Who dreams of better days

Your higher power may be God or Jesus Christ

It doesn't really matter much to me

Without each others help there ain't no hope for us

I'm living in a dream of fantasy, Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

If only we could all just find serenity

It would be nice if we could live as one

When will all this anger, hate and bigotry Be gone?

I'm just a dreamer

I dream my life away, today

I'm just a dreamer

Who dreams of better days

Okay, I'm just a dreamer

Who's searching for the way, today

I'm just a dreamer

Dreaming my life away, Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

This is utterly repulsive! Trump and Vance just tried to humiliate Zelensky live on American TV, smugly demanding gratitude while openly mocking him like playground bullies counting favors. My respect for Zelensky—and my embarrassment as an American—just surged off the charts. I’m beyond disgusted!”
