Without A Dreamer
Sara Bareilles
[Intro] [Verse] When I was a boy Hardly more than 10 years old My family moved to a small town And I was destroyedâ leaving all my friends behind And if I had the choice we’dve stayed put It’s only now I can see Sometimes a little change can be good 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 But still she painted my world with her kind words And soft curves Just a schoolboy crush But you remind me of her She saw something in me I was lonely and misunderstood Sheâd ask me to write down my wildest schemes And over slices of blueberry pie I learned to dream Sheâd say "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 herâ what good’s a dreamer anyway?" [Interlude] [Verse] Thank god for that place It practically saved me Those school kids just didnât take kind to this stranger And I was eccentricâ all grand plans and inventions That I wouldâve just thrown away By listening she let me have something to say Oh what goodâs a dreamer without a believer? We all just need someone to care Oh one who might listen and root for our wishes Someone to simply be glad that we’re there What goodâs a hand if nobody needs holding? When everything else falls away If no one believes herâ what goodâs a dreamer anyway? [Interlude]
