The Dreamer
Copyright 1994 Michael Gibbowr

Those who Dream by night
Wipe the slumber from their eyes
Then pick up the routine
Of their daily lives
But those who Dream by day
They’re a different breed
You know them by their speech
And get inspired by their deeds

‘Cause it’s the Dreamer
Who makes this world a better place
And it’s the Dreamer
Who really sets the pace
Doing things that ain’t been done before
Never settling for second best
Always striving for more

From the incandescent light
To the first manned flight
The telephone to the Model – T
It’s the Dreamer who’s made history
Simple folks just like you and me
Who dared to pay the price
To make their Dreams reality

So never fear your fear
Always embrace your pain
Know that should you falter
In it there’s no shame
‘Cause when you do the deed
That you’ve been Dreaming of
You’re no longer average
You’re a cut above

Yes, it’s the Dreamer
Who makes this world a better place
And it’s the Dreamer
Who really sets the pace
Doing things that ain’t been done before
Never settling for second best
Always striving for more
So don’t you settle for second best
Life offers so much more
~

Great showmanship. He let the product be the star. And the crowd was better than an Oprah studio audience. Awesome, awesome stuff. Great showmanship. He let the product be the star.
