Stands in front of the mirror
And sings his songs
She has written for years
To all the companies in her city
But nothing ever came back
He has always wanted
To travel the whole world
Saves everything he has
She plays a thousand little roles
And wants to go to Hollywood
Is so tired of all this here
Leave your old life behind
And walk through this new door
This goes out to all the dreamers
Because we are the winners
We know no limits
From today on forever
This goes out to all the dreamers
Because everything would be meaningless
Without dreamers like you and me
He is actually Elvis Presley
And reborn
People will see
She has been serving plates for years
And saves every cent
For her own café
Leave your old life behind
And walk through this new door
This goes out to all the dreamers
Because we are the winners
We know no limits
From today on forever
This goes out to all the dreamers
Because everything would be meaningless
Without dreamers like you and me
This goes out to all the dreamers
Because we are the winners
We know no limits
From today on forever
This goes out to all the dreamers
Because everything would be meaningless
Without dreamers like you and me
This goes out to all the dreamers
Because we are the winners
We know no limits
From today on forever
This goes out to all the dreamers
Because everything would be meaningless
Without dreamers like you and me
This goes out to all the dreamers
Because we are the winners
We know no limits
From today on forever
This goes out to all the dreamers
Because everything would be meaningless
Without dreamers like you and me
Out to all the dreamers
We are the winners
Know no limits
Dreamers like you and me
Out to all the dreamers
We are the winners
Know no limits
Out to all the dreamers
We are the winners
Know no limits
Out to all the dreamers
We are the winners
Know no limits
