"A Different Kind of Dreamer" is a song about the human condition, inspired by a quote by Albert Einstein.
"If man is to survive, he must acquire a different way of thinking" ~ Albert Einstein
lyrics
A voyageur without a name ~ Man meets world in a cyclone swirl
In webs of icy chains no one wants to fade away
Don't want their face on a paper on the bottom of every budgie cage
The human race is racing after rabbits not worth chasing
Are we all afraid of change?
A feast of modern day ~ A schemer's scheme, headlines scream
how man has lost his way ~ [He writes a wicked play]
What are we supposed to do? Fall then pray for angels, too
[Remove this mushroom cloud that follows him around]
Or dream of happy endings? Are there happy endings?
Until then nothing seems to change
Guess it takes a different kind of dreamer
Guess it takes a different kind of plan
Everybody loves to scorn the dreamer
Everybody loves to dog the man
What a wicked world today ~ Twisted views in madman's shoes
Call all the shots today ~ People are afraid of change
What's it take to clear the slate and minimize the pain?
Schemers keep on scheming ~ Dreamers keep on dreaming
How and why? There must be a better way
Guess it takes a different kind of dreamer
Guess it takes a different kind of man
Everybody loves to scorn the dreamer
Everybody wants to see his hands
