Any Dream You Wanted
I wonder, I wonder
What you would do
If you had the power to dream any dream you wanted to
I wonder, I wonder
What you would do
If you had the power to dream any dream you wanted to
And you would of course be able to alter your time sense
And slip say 75 years of subjective time
Into eight hours of sleep
You would I suppose
Start out by
Fulfilling all your wishes
You could
Design for yourself
What would be
The most ecstatic life
Love affairs
Banquets
Dancing girls
Wonderful journeys
Love affairs
Banquets
Dancing girls
Wonderful journeys
Gardens
Music beyond belief
Music beyond belief
Music beyond belief
[Chorus]
I wonder, I wonder
What you would do
If you had the power to dream any dream you wanted to
I wonder, I wonder
What you would do
If you had the power to dream any dream you wanted to
Any dream you wanted to
Any dream you wanted to
Any dream you, any dream you, any dream you wanted
I wonder, I wonder
What you would do
If you had the power to dream any dream you wanted to
And then after
A couple of months
Of this sort of thing at 75 years a night
You‘ll be getting a little
Taste of something different
You would move over to an adventurous dimension
Where there were certain dangers involved
And the thrill of dealing with dangers
And you could rescue princesses from dragons
And go on dangerous journey
Make wonderful explosions and blow them up
Eventually you get into a contest with enemies
And after you've done that for some time
You will think up a new wrinkle
To forget that you were dreaming
So, you would think it was all for real
And to be
Anxious about it
Because it would be so great when you woke up
[Chorus]
I wonder, I wonder
What you would do
If you had the power to dream any dream you wanted to
I wonder, I wonder
What you would do
If you had the power to dream any dream you wanted to
Any dream you wanted to
Any dream you wanted to
Any dream you, any dream you, any dream you wanted
I wonder, I wonder
What you would do
If you had the power to dream any dream you wanted to
And then you say, well
Like children who dear each other on things
How far out could you get?
What could you take?
What dimension of being lost?
Of
Abandonment of your power
What dimension of that could you stand?
You could ask yourself this
Because you know you would eventually wake up
After you’ve gone on doing this you see for some time
You’d suddenly find yourself
Sitting around in this room
With all your
Personal involvements
Problems
Etcetera
Talking with me
How do you know if that's not what you're doing?
Could be
Because after all what would you do if you were God?
[Chorus]
I wonder, I wonder
What you would do
If you had the power to dream any dream you wanted to
I wonder, I wonder
What you would do
If you had the power to dream any dream you wanted to
Any dream you wanted to
Any dream you wanted to
Any dream you, any dream you, any dream you wanted
I wonder, I wonder
What you would do
If you had the power to dream any dream you wanted to
I wonder, I wonder
What you would do
If you had the power to dream any dream you wanted to
I wonder, I wonder
What you would do
If you had the power to dream any dream you wanted to
Any dream you wanted to
Any dream you wanted to
Any dream you, any dream you, any dream you wanted to
I wonder, I wonder
What you would do
If you had the power to dream any dream you wanted to
What would you do if you were God?
What would you do if you were God?
What would you do if you were God?
What would you do if you were God?
What would you do if you were God?
What would you do if you were God?
