Without A Believer
Sara Bareilles
[Verse 1] When I was a boy Hardly more than 10 years old My family moved to a small town And I was destroyed leaving all my friends behind And if I had the choice we’d have stayed put It’s only now I can see Sometimes a little change can be good [Verse 2] At the end of the block The ramshackle diner stood My after school spot just to pass time Where I met a girl nearly three times my age Aut still she painted my world with her kind words And soft curls Just a schoolboy crush But you remind me of her [Pre-Chorus] She saw something in me I was lonely and misunderstood She’d ask me to write down my wildest schemes And over slices of blueberry pie I learned to dream [Chorus] She’ say what good’s dreamer without believer? We all just need someone to care One who might listen and root for our wishes Someone to simply be glad that we’re there What good’s a hand if nobody needs holding? When everything else falls away If no one believes her what good’s a dreamer anyway? [Verse 3] Thank god for that place It practically saved me Those school kids sure didn’t take kind to this stranger And I was eccentric all grand plans and inventions That I would’ve just thrown away By listening she let me have something to say [Chorus] Oh What good’s a dreamer without a believer? We all just need someone to care One who might listen and root for our wishes Someone to simply be glad that we’re there What good’s a hand if nobody needs holding? When everything else falls away If no one believes her what good’s a dreamer anyway?
