Lyric These Dreams

Every day I get up and the day begins
And every day I dig a hole and I fill it in
People say, "You re crazy, man, now don t you care
But I know there s treasure buried right down there
I watch my dreams collect like dirt around a poor boy s neck
These dreams shine like diamonds
Down in my soul
These dreams shine like diamonds
And I m digging for coal
Sometimes it gets so hard to bear
When people look at me like I m not even there
Or ask me what I ve got to say
And nod their heads like it don t matter anyway
They don t pay me any mind cause I m too dumb or they re too blind
I see people get ahead
Or people eating cake instead of daily bread
But I ain t got it all that rough
If dreams don t take me anywhere they seem to take me far enough
It ain t much but it s okay to sleep all night and dream all day
