lyrics

As the Crow Flies

What if I said that I wanted to fall
To lose myself and yet gain it all
Would you understand? Would you even care?
I could travel up north by the rule of thumb
March to the beat of my own drum
Would you notice that I was gone?
I could pay my way with this old guitar
Playing street corners and every bar
I don't care how far I go

As the crow flies I'll go
'Cause dreams were made to be followed
But what do I know
What do I know

Sometimes I wonder why I try so hard
To see them stars and those boulevards
When that's not what I want
I just want to have my music heard
Have people singing along with every word I wrote
There more than just words

As the crow flies I'll go
'Cause dreams were made to be followed
But what do I know
What do I know

I'm sick and tired of these pessimistic fools
With all of their standards and social rules
Do they matter in the end?
What about the kids and their dreams
The world brings them down, drowns out their screams
Just to conform and be like the rest

But don't stop this feeling, and don't stop screaming
Don't you dare stop believing
Dreamers, keep on dreaming

But what do I know
What do I know
But what do I know
I'm just a boy with a dream
