Joel, Billy - Everybody Has A Dream Lyrics






While in these days of quiet desperation
As I wander through the world in which I live
I search everywhere for some new inspiration
But it's more than cold reality can give
If I need a cause for celebration
Or a comfort I can use to ease my mind
I rely on my imagination
And I dream of an imaginary time

I know that everybody has a dream
Everybody has a dream
And this is my dream, my own
Just to be at home
And to be all alone...with you

If I believe in all the words I'm saying
And if a word from you can bring a better day
Then all I have are these games that I've been playing
To keep my hope from crumbling away
So let me lie and let me go on sleeping
And I will lose myself in palaces of sand
And all the fantasies that I have been keeping
Will make the empty hours easier to stand

I know that everybody has a dream
Everybody has a dream
And this is my dream, my own
Just to be at home
And to be all alone...with you

  74. D.... C....

    i'm in love with song

  75. N.... W....

    i was born in 76 and grew up listening to billys music..and i made sure my kids grew up listening to his music.and i am certain they love it almost as much as i do.

  76. B.... H....

    chords please?

  77. J.... H....

    I think I've bought about five copies of this album in your life, mostly because I wore out at least two cassettes.

  78. w.... b....

    my favorite album ever...thank you kevin o'shaunessy.

  79. P.... F....

    this song rocks

  80. C.... ....

    Love the gospel touch on this.

    C.... ....

    Billy always says "damn what am I doing righting gospel, I'm not religious" so I find some humor in that.🙂

  81. S.... E....

    I heard this song at my grandma's funeral in 2013

  82. z.... ....

    4:35 The Stranger (reprise). Don't know why that wasn't a separate track.

    z.... ....

    +zymaymyn it was on my original vinyl album. or at least i think it was.

    z.... ....

    everybody has a dream was the last song on the album so it was put in there to end the album. If you ask me I think it is brilliant to finish one class song with the reprise of another great song

  83. R.... B....

    the spiriiiiit caaaaries oooooon

    R.... B....

    Everybody has a Dream Theater

  84. l.... ....

    Gods, that is one of the greatest albums ever made. So easy to get lost in in and forget what absolute shit life is; to see, for one small moment, something greater. Not many people around who can do that, especially when so many of them have been dying off lately. Glad to see there are a few still around.

    l.... ....

    +luchog Used the last tune as our grad theme back in the day. Still one of my fave albums of all time, I think I have two on vinyl, gotta go through the collection again one of these days

    l.... ....

    luchog I love getting into the car and asking my 11 year old daughter to put some music on. She always picks this album

    l.... ....

    Thats the legacy of music like this. If a 11 year old can listen to and appreciate it above the so called music of today music like this will live on forever.

  85. M.... &....

    Grew up listening to The Stranger album with my dad. Doesn't get any better!

    M.... &....

    We gotta love those sophisticated New Yorkers!

  86. A.... F....

    1964 model Gregory. Old men rule !

  87. s.... ....

    I love how the piano riff that begins "The Stranger" song also returns at the end of this one. It's classic Billy!

  88. A.... B....

    "...and I will lose myself in palaces of sand..."

    yeah...haven't we all?

    A.... B....

    +A Black, ah, certainly.

  89. V.... T....

    loves me some him!!

  90. B.... D....

    love this tune!  when i was in high school, i REALLY wanted to get the solo singing this in my high school chorus, and it went to someone else who was struggling with some personal problems: it left me so pissed!  fast forward some 25+ years, and i got to sing it with a student band at the university where i teach (in japan).  AT LAST!  shades of gregory russo's comments.  thanks for posting this!

  91. B.... R....

    Anyone else wondering why the stranger is playing at the end??

    B.... R....

    @Ben Richardson It's just a reprise.

  92. P.... ....

    The little piece at the end of this compilation is the reprise from "The Stranger" and not part of "Everybody Has a Dream."  I thought it had been left off when I didn't see it listed in the song list.

    P.... ....

    Thanks for clearing that up! I was confused at first

  93. P.... ....

    I remember buying the tape of this album around the Christmas holidays in 1977, and I listened to it every day and every night till sometime late Summer 1978...I wore out the tape and had to buy a new one.  The worn out tape messed up my tape player, had to replace that too. All the songs were my favorites...but Only the Good Die Young and Everybody Has A Dream may have been a little more favorite than the rest.

  94. R.... m....

    lovely song

  95. B.... K....

    A beautiful song that reminds me of better times without having to deal with my crazy stupid grandmother.

  96. S.... S....

    One of my favorite "go too" songs for just about anything important to me.

    S.... S....

    @Salvador Santamaria To*

  97. T.... S....

    out of all Billy Joel's music this song is the one on file in my brain.... in case I need to hear it... anytime I need to hear it ....great great song.

  98. T.... ....

    Honestly, my generation sucks. It's too bad I'm one of the few in my generation who likes this music. 

    T.... ....

    I know that feeling, dude. MAJOR Billy Joel fan myself.

    T.... ....

    @TheMedicalReptile Come on! we're a lot of people like you! It's so fun to tell everybody what is real music ;)
    Don't know how music will evolve...maybe very bad. We'll be obliged to listen to music that came out before our birth.
    But you know what? Fuck it! we do what we want! :D

    T.... ....

    +TheMedicalReptile Look at mr snowflake here flaunting his taste in music

    T.... ....

    Ugh. I was born in the wrong generation. All music today sucks. My taste is far superior to yours. You can tell people like that judge a generation based on what gets radio play.

    T.... ....

    I DID GT Ikr, Filthy Frank said it perfectly
