Waiting patiently for a better day
Waiting for the time when luck comes my way
Ooh I'm the sandman
Ooh I'm the sandman
I rest my head on my pillow and go to sleep
Cause there I can be anything I want to be
Ooh I'm the sandman
Ooh I'm the sandman
I can live life pretending that I'm something I'm never going to be
Something more than me
I don't need what is real and I never feel the urge to cry
I just close my eyes
Ooh I'm the sandman
Ooh I'm the sandman
I can say there'll be tomorrow
I can say there's going to be another day
For things to change
And though my dreams keep getting broken
I can make believe they happen anyway
Just a wish away
I'm the sandman
