They are minstrels and beggars thorns in the side of a king Sometimes they sleep in the day time come out in the night time to sing They come into the castle through whatever window they can find They come into your mind Dreams of flying dreams of being free Nobody can take my dreams from me Nobody can take my dreams from me You can bind me in chains lock me up in a jailhouse to rot And if you come to see me you might think I am there but I am not They can sail into prison Find a way through anyplace but north they can offer you warmth Dreams of flying dreams of being free Nobody can take my dreams from me Nobody can take my dreams from me You can take my money take my reputation Even take my color T.V. Nobody can take my dreams from me Nobody can take my dreams from me Nobody can take my dreams from me
