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
