I Wanna

I want to work to make ideas real

Sometimes far-fetched but I still feel

That we could try and maybe they

Would just work out

But you say no, don't even try

I ask but you don't know why

You just frown and shoot me down

Yeah, you're so smart

Everyone's so cynical

Can't feel a thing, so logical

Can't make a point, they

Intellectualize everything

I believe in naivety

Don't think it's dumb

Believe in dreams and silly schemes

Still human

I wish I was, and not numb

But I feel myself getting numb...

I gotta dream and you can't say

That it's not right and it's okay

To just give up

But you say no, don't even try

I ask but you don't know why

You just frown and shoot me down

Yeah, you're so smart

People say so condescending

Your idealism is amusing

But I say being alive is choosing

To not give up
