what happens to the poet
when all her words are lost
or the soldier who survives
every battle that he’s fought
what happens to the child
who gets no comfort when he cries
what happens to the dreamer
when the dream dies?
what happens to a country
ruled by evil men
what happens to the summer
when the winter comes again
what happens to the lover torn
by wonder and surprise
what happens to the dreamer
when the dream dies?
i know there must be colors
the rainbow’s never seen
somewhere there’s a flowing stream
still runs pure and clean
somewhere there’s a dreamer
still living in his dream
still living in his dream
what happens to the sunset
at the coming of the night
what happens to the beauty
when there isn’t any light
what happened to the spark of love
i saw behind your eyes
what happens to the dreamer
when the dream dies?
