Lyrics

DREAMERS by Claudia Gibson

SHE HAS WALKED THROUGH DESERT SANDS
HUDDLED DOWN INSIDE A TRUCK
CLUTCHING AT HER MAMA’S HAND
BOTH PRAYING FOR A LITTLE LUCK
CRAWLING UNDERNEATH BARBED WIRE
HE WAS BARELY THREE YEARS OLD
DADDY CARRIED HIM FOR MILES
NOT A PEEP, JUST LIKE HE WAS TOLD

DREAMERS - THEY HAVE LIVED HERE
ALL OF THEIR LIFETIME
IN THIS LAND THEY CALL HOME
ALL THEIR SCHOOLS DAYS
EVERY FRIEND’S FACE
ALL FROM THIS PLACE
THE ONLY LIVES THEY’VE KNOWN

GROWING UP BETWEEN TWO WORLDS
HOMEWORK, FRIENDS AND FOOTBALL GAMES
KNOWING JUST ONE TRAFFIC STOP
COULD LEAVE THEIR LIVES FOREVER CHANGED

GO TO COLLEGE, FIND A JOB
SERVE YOUR COUNTRY, MAKE YOUR WAY
CHOICES THAT THEY CANNOT MAKE
WHEN IT’S A FIGHT JUST TO REMAIN

DREAMERS - THEY HAVE LIVED HERE
ALL OF THEIR LIFETIME
IN THIS COUNTRY THEY CALL HOME
ALL THEIR SCHOOLS DAYS
EVERY FRIEND’S FACE
ALL FROM THIS PLACE
THE ONLY LIVES THEY’VE KNOWN

FOREIGN TO THE THE LANDS WHERE THEY WERE BORN
COULD IT BE THE DREAMS THEY SHARE
ARE BIG ENOUGH FOR US ALL?
FOR US ALL?

DREAMERS - THEY HAVE LIVED HERE
ALL THEIR LIFETIME
THIS COUNTRY IS THEIR HOME
ALL THEIR SCHOOLS DAYS
EVERY FRIEND’S FACE
ALL FROM THIS PLACE
THE ONLY LIVES THEY’VE KNOWN
