We're Dreamers

We're dreamers because we seek things we've never seen

Choose to push ourselves in directions of seemingly unattainable things

Always flyings hours away for things we could get right down the road

Because only with the changing scenary do we ever feel at home

As children our goals were never to be teachers or mommies

Instead we dreamt of dancing on broadway or touching the surface of the moon

With our heads in the clouds numbers of our peers

Continued to try to pull us down, and crash us into the dirt below their feet

But we stayed aloft in the air above their heads

Pushing our eyes into books, and our minds into places we'd never been

Dreaming of the days when we can free ourselves from being stuck

In the small towns we are born in, where the roads all seem to lead to the same places

If you're wondering who the dreamers around you are

Since we're approaching our final destination in this town, our senior year

You can find us finally at rest, at peace, stress levels seemingly at ease

With the knowledge that after this year we will finally be out of here

Us dreamers, we're the ones that have pushed ourselves beyond

Beyond what we thought we could do so we can get into our schools outside of this state, away from the fields that seem to surround us and the small resteraunts we've been to so many times that the waiters and waitress' know our names and what we like to eat

Whether we're flying away to the east coast for New York, the west coast

For LA, north, south or even to just a bordering state, we're the ones leaving

Going to places where no one knows our names because thats where we belong

In places where our identities are brand new, and we can start blank

Because in our minds as dreamers this town has never been enough for us

Some of us have stuck together like glue, but many of you never understood

So we were the backside of your jokes and the endurers of your pranks

Simply because we chose to push ourselves and not join in your childish games

We're dreamers because we see life outside of this town

Limits to where we will go and what we will be don't exist and never have

Joining family businesses or waiting tables will never be our career goals

Instead we will be the ones who visit town twice a year to see our families then leave
