Cry of a Dreamer Lyrics by The Sylvers

The Sylvers II

0

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
[Verse 1]
Isn't it strange that a man should live alone?
Ridiculed for the thoughts he has
Somehow shown to the world
So life labels me a dreamer
There's not a prayer (Ooh, yeah)
For the one who's love for life no longer lingers
(Ooh, yeah) But he tries so hard to establish his thoughts
As being apart of reality (Ooh, yeah)
(But he's pushed aside)
[Chorus]
The cry of a dreamer lives in your minds and hearts forever
(A dreamer lives forever) (The cry of a dreamer, the cry of a dreamer)
(A dreamer lives forever) (The cry of a dreamer, the cry of a dreamer)
I'm tired of man's crowded ways of life
[Verse 2]
Isn't it strange that a man should live alone?
Hated by those who pushed him through this crowded world
Yet he lives, he lives, he lives
He lives to play the role of a dreamer
There's not a prayer (Ooh, yeah)
For the one who's love for life no longer lingers
(Ooh, yeah) But he tries so hard to establish his thoughts
As being part of reality, yeah (Ooh, yeah)
(But he's pushed aside)
[Chorus]
The cry of a dreamer lives in your minds and hearts forever, girl
(A dreamer lives forever) (The cry of a dreamer, the cry of a dreamer)
Forever (A dreamer lives forever)
(The cry of a dreamer, the cry of a dreamer)
The cry of a dreamer
[Bridge]
What was an airplane before it was built?
A dream that one day man would fly
What was a rocket ship before it was built?
A dream that one day man will walk the Moon
I'm tired of man's crowded ways of life (Isn't it strange?)
Life
[Verse 3]
So life labels me a dreamer
And there's not a prayer (Ooh, yeah)
For the one who's love for life no longer lingers
But he tries so hard (Ooh, yeah)
To establish his thoughts as being a part of reality (Ooh, yeah)
(But he's pushed aside)
[Chorus]
The cry of a dreamer lives in your minds and hearts forever
(The cry of a dreamer, the cry of a dreamer)
(A dreamer lives forever, lives forever)
Forever (The cry of a dreamer, the cry of a dreamer)
(A dreamer lives forever, lives forever)
The cry of a dreamer
[Outro]
I'm tired of man's crowded ways of life
A dreamer lives forever, do-do-do
I'm tired of man's crowded ways of life
A dreamer lives forever, do-do-do
I'm tired of man's crowded ways of life
A dreamer lives forever, do-do-do
I'm tired of man's crowded ways of life
A dreamer lives forever, do-do-do
I'm tired of man's crowded ways of life
A dreamer lives forever, do-do-do
I'm tired of man's crowded ways of life
A dreamer lives forever, do-do-do
