Helen Hudson - I Can Dream Lyrics

People never see me
Quite the way I see myself
And sometimes even I wish that I was someone else
But I'm caught inside this body and I know I can't get out

But I can dream, can't I?
I can dream, just close my eyes
I can dream, can't I?
Let the world all fade away
'Cause I can dream

Life's not always perfect
Love's not always kind
And nothing's quite the way it seems
Unless you're maybe blind
But I can still imagine the way it all should be

'Cause I can dream, can't I?
I can dream, just close my eyes
I can dream, can't I?
Let the world all fade away
'Cause I can dream

When I close my eyes and leave reality behind
I live out fantasies that come alive inside my mind
I turn off all the madness and I set my spirit free
Oh nothing's stopping me

'Cause I can dream, can't I?
I can dream, just close my eyes
I can dream, can't I?
Let the world all fade away,
'Cause I can dream

So if you see me staring into space, you'll understand
I've got into the world that holds me with a lighter hand
And you don't have to worry that I'll lose my sanity

'Cause I can dream, can't I?
I can dream, just close my eyes
I can dream, can't I?
Let the world all fade away
'Cause I can dream
