We are dreamers all in this dream of life And very good dream. with its toll. its strife
 Its song and laughter its love and cheer. It's loss and worry and grief and fear. We are dreamers all in a different way In this toiiing world of the workaday. And God he praised in the dew. the dust There are dreams of comfort and dreams of trust.
