Lyrics
My father was a poet I’m a songwriter He gave words a purpose I lifted them up higher
Now he listens somewhere in the sky, now he listens somewhere in the sky
If I was a tree my father would be the seed everything from him passed on to me
My job is to do something unique; my job is to do something unique
We don’t know what we can do until we’re put to the test
Sometimes we need a push to do our best
I would have gone forever, never knowing who I could be
But I took a chance and let the dreamer free
I could have been another man looking back at history
But I heard my inner voice and let the dreamer free
It might be a thought don’t just throw it away if you see a need, you can make a plan
All you need is ground to take a stand all you need is ground to take a stand
I didn’t know my worth until I dug down deep
Found it was always there inside of me
I would have gone forever, never knowing who I could be
But I took a chance and let the dreamer free
I could have been another man looking back at history
But I heard my inner voice and let the dreamer free
I could have been another man, but I let the dreamer free.
