The dime-store philosopher has found his way
We’ve been to the other side and back again
And now we see beyond the dreams of yesterday
And hope for dreams of tomorrow in the youth of today
When we were fools - we ruled this riverside
We thought that we could fly all day
Twenty somethin wisdom and a
Pocketful of shadows and a
Map of the world that we drew up
CHORUS
As far as we could see - as far as we could dream
we could dream
When we were fools - we couldn't fly too high
Reachin for the other side of what
Bulletproof will and a
Lust for life and a
An attitude that said it all
CHORUS
As far as we could see - as far as we could dream
we could dream
~~~
When we were fools – skatin on fractured ice
Livin under pretty lies all day
Knew nothing bout reality
But all we knew was all we need
Aint no one gonna rain on our parade
CHORUS
As far as we could see - as far as we could dream
we could dream
BRIDGE
The dime-store philosopher has found his way
We’ve been to the other side and back again
And now we see beyond the dreams of yesterday
And hope for dreams of tomorrow in the youth of today

Pocketful of shadows and a
Map of the world that we drew up
