They are minstrels and beggars thorns in the side of a king
Sometimes they sleep in the day time come out in the night time to sing
They come into the castle through whatever window they can find
They come into your mind

Dreams of flying dreams of being free
Nobody can take my dreams from me
Nobody can take my dreams from me

You can bind me in chains lock me up in a jailhouse to rot
And if you come to see me you might think I am there but I am not
They can sail into prison
Find a way through anyplace but north they can offer you warmth

Dreams of flying dreams of being free
Nobody can take my dreams from me
Nobody can take my dreams from me

You can take my money take my reputation
Even take my color T.V.
Nobody can take my dreams from me
Nobody can take my dreams from me
Nobody can take my dreams from me
