Look at the old man teachin', look at the child amazed
As he realizes that the blue planet was his own
Before the times of foolness, holocaust and sadness
Can he believe we turned the paradise we lived into a hell
How can we dream on
How can we dream on out of our earth
Now the old man is cryin', thinks how his home’s been dyin'
Due to the madness of some people we named ourselves deciders
How can we dream on
How can we dream on out of our earth
Not so long ago, sun gave us light to see, and
Not so long ago, we had air to breathe
But none of us could realize the chance we had
On our home earth
See the children starin' at the earth-shine laughin'
From the moon through their sky made of metal and glass
Never seen a lightenin', never felt rain fallin'
The old man hopes someday we’ll be called to return home again
How can we dream on
How can we dream on out of our earth
How can we dream on
How can we dream on out of our earth
Not so long ago, sun gave us light to see, and
Not so long ago, we had air to breathe
But none of us could realize the chance we had
On our home earth

How can we dream on
How can we dream on out of our earth
How can we dream on
How can we dream on out of our earth
Not so long ago, sun gave us light to see, and
Not so long ago, we had air to breathe
But none of us could realize the chance we had
On our home earth
