Dreamer: Ozzy Osbourne



Well, this is the emotional song from the solo album of Ozzy Osbourne featuring Rob Trujillo (Metallica) in bass guitars and Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society) in leads that pulled me into Ozzy's music. I just figured Trujillo and Wylde when watching back this video. This song is about Osbourne's dream of different world for better living and happiness of children. It carries an introspective about the sad state of the world.You can see in this video directed by Rob Zombie. Ozzy compares this to John Lennon's "Imagine," which contains the line, "You might say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one." He tries to convey the message that God and Jesus have nothing to do with our fate - the power is within us to bring the real change.





Lyrics:



Gazing through the window at the world outside

Wondering will mother earth survive

Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her sometime

After all there's only just the two of us

And here we are still fighting for our lives

Watching all of history repeat itself

Time after time

I'm just a dreamer

I dream my life away

I'm just a dreamer

Who dreams of better days

I watch the sun go down like everyone of us

I'm hoping that the dawn will bring a sign

A better place for those Who will come after us ...

This time



I'm just a dreamer

I dream my life away oh yeah

I'm just a dreamer

Who dreams of better days



Your higher power may be God or Jesus Christ

It doesn't really matter much to me

Without each others help there ain't no hope for us

I'm living in a dream of fantasy

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah



If only we could all just find serenity

It would be nice if we could live as one

When will all this anger, hate and bigotry ...

Be gone



I'm just a dreamer

I dream my life away

Today

I'm just a dreamer

Who dreams of better days

Okay



I'm just a dreamer

Who's searching for the way

Toda

I'm just a dreamer

Dreaming my life away

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
