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 Don't you wake up, this dream will come true And every dream has a name And names tell your story This song is your dream You're the dream operator 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 Dream us to life, they dream me a face And every dream tells it all And this 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, it's hard to go on When you fall asleep, you're out on your own Let go of your life, grab onto 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 Ooh, and you dreamed it all And this is your story Do you know who you are? You're the dream operator
