Dream Operator

When you were little
You dreamed you were big
You must have been something
A real tiny kid

You wish you were me
I wish I was you
Now don´t you wake up
The dream will come true

Every dream has a name
And names tell your story
This song is your dream
You´re the dream operator

It´s bigger than life
You know it´s all me
My face is a book
But it´s not what it seems

Three angels above
The whole human race
They dream us to life
They dream me a face

And every dream tells it all
And this dream is your story
You dreamed me a heart
You´re the dream operator

Shake-it-up dream
Hi-di-ho dream
Fix-it-up dream
Look at me dream
I´ve been waiting so long
Now I am your dream

Hard to forget
Hard to go on
When you fall asleep
You´re out on your own

Let go of your life
Grab on to my hand
Here in the clouds
Where we´ll understand

And you dreamed it all
And this is your story
Do you know who you are?
You´re the dream operator

And you dreamed it all
And this is your story
Do you know who you are?
You´re the dream operator
