Impossible Dreamers (semifinalist)

They told me that dreams don't put food on the table

They kept saying you weren't born to stand out

So I gave up dreaming and stayed in the shadows

Listened to the people who held me down

And on and on and on it goes

On and on it goes

Here's to the impossible dreamers, the foolish believers who choose

That they're gonna walk through the desert and search for the better, and you

You're not alone

You're not alone

So don't be afraid, don't you stay in the shadows

Live as if you're gonna die today

Choose your own path in the clear, calm moonlight

Follow your heart, it knows the way

Here's to the impossible dreamers, the foolish believers who choose

That they're gonna walk through the desert and search for the better, and you

You're not alone

You're not alone

You're not alone

You're not alone

There'll always be a ray of light

A way to fight

A chance to reach out for that helping hand

From this impossible dreamer, this foolish believer

I'm still gonna walk through the desert and search for something better, ooh, ooh

Here's to the impossible dreamers, the foolish believers who choose

That they're gonna walk through the desert and search for something better, and you

You're not alone

You're not alone

You're not alone
