If they be dreamers with the world on their backs Let them be picked up from the dust of despair On the steam and the grime of the machines of invention On the sweat and the toil of men and women alike On the laughter and smiles of the child and childish Let them paint such futures that can be imagined
If they be dreamers who see sun in the grey Let them nourish the crops that need such light May they ignite such passion with unmatched fire May they shine in the dark amidst the hopeless May they reflect their light to ward those from danger A lighthouse atop a lone hill to show the way
If they be dreamers whose minds race ever fervent Let them race with the speed of a shout Let their feet never stumble or tarry from their path Let their footprints guide those who wish to run Let them live in a legacy composed within an idea And let dreams carry on and give life to the world
