"Dreamer"

"Dreamer" is a ballad and the third track from Ozzy Osbourne's album Down to Earth, which was released on October 16, 2001. The single peaked at number 10 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks. The song describes the rockstar's vision of people and humanity destroying Earth. In the liner notes to Osbourne's Prince of Darkness box set, Ozzy refers to this song as his version of John Lennon's "Imagine". The Japanese and European press of the single also include a slightly different version of the song, dubbed "Dreamer (acoustic)", and a previously unreleased song titled "Black Skies".

[Verse 1] Gazing through the window at the world outside Wondering will mother earth survive Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her sometime After all, there's only just the two of us And here we are still fighting for our lives Watching all of history repeat itself time after time [Chorus] I'm just a dreamer, I dream my life away I'm just a dreamer who dreams of better days [Verse 2] I watch the sun go down like everyone of us I'm hoping that the dawn will bring a sign A better place for those who will come after us, this time [Chorus] I'm just a dreamer, I dream my life away, oh yeah I'm just a dreamer who dreams of better days [Bridge] Your higher power may be God or Jesus Christ It doesn't really matter much to me Without each other's help, there ain't no hope for us I'm living in a dream of fantasy, oh yeah, yeah, yeah [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] If only we could all just find serenity It would be nice if we could live as one When will all this anger, hate and bigotry be gone? [Chorus] I'm just a dreamer, I dream my life away, today I'm just a dreamer who dreams of better days, okay I'm just a dreamer who's searching for the way, today I'm just a dreamer, dreaming my life away, oh yeah, yeah, yeah
