It Took Dreams

Dream away, dream away
Dream away

It took dreams to cross the ocean
It took dreams for man to fly
It took dreams to build the bridges
And the buildings that reach the sky

It took dreams (It took dreams)
And crazy dreamers (Crazy dreamers)
For the things (For the things)
We have today (We have today)
So if you've got a dream in you
Don't be afraid to follow it through
No matter what they say
Dream away (Dream, dream, dream)

Christopher Columbus had a dream
Everybody said the world was flat
Christopher Columbus sailed the sea
Everybody had to eat his hat

Wilbur and his brother built a plane
Everybody said they were insane
They all began as dreams dreaming away
(It took dreams, dream away)

It took dreams (Christopher Columbus had a dream)
To cross the ocean (Everybody said the world was flat)
It took dreams (Christopher Columbus sailed the sea)
For man to fly (Everybody had to eat his hat)
It took dreams (Wilbur and his brother built a plane)
To build the bridges (Everybody said they were insane)
And the buildings (Everybody doubted, but papa shouted)
That reach the sky (When they heard them say)

Mr. Franklin with his kite and key (It took dreams)
He discovered electricity (And crazy dreamers)
Mr. Fulton sailed the boats by steam (For the things)
All because he had a crazy dream (We have today)
Motion pictures, radio, TV screens (So if you've got a dream in you)
Rockets to the moon and submarines
Don't be afraid to follow it through)
No matter what they say
Dream away
