(Dreams, dreams, dreams)

I am known to stay awake
(A beautiful world I'm trying to find)
A beautiful world I'm trying to find
(A beautiful world, I'm trying to find)
I've been in search of myself
(A beautiful world) a beautiful world
It's just too hard for me to find
(Dreams, dreams)
Said it's just too hard for me to find
(Dreams, dreams)
I am in the search of something new
(A beautiful world I'm trying to find)
Searchin' me,
Searching inside of you
And that's fo' real

Only master teachers?

And cheatin on ya mama, you stay woke

To keep a healthy life, I stay woke

With shiny lights and little
