## Lyrics
[verse]
When I was young the world was wide and full of light
Every color had a name, every star shone bright
Then they sat me in a room and told me how to be
Practical, responsible, and nothing wild or free

[chorus]
Tell me, tell me, what happened to the dreamer
Tell me, tell me, why the world got meaner
I just want to feel the way I used to feel
Somebody tell me, is any of it real

[verse]
Now I wear the suit and speak the measured word
Every question that I ask gets left unheard
They gave me all the answers, wrapped up neat and small
But none of them explain the wonder after all

[chorus]
Tell me, tell me, what happened to the dreamer
Tell me, tell me, why the world got meaner
I just want to feel the way I used to feel
Somebody tell me, is any of it real

[bridge]
Logical, logical, they keep on saying so
But logic never told me where the wonder used to go
Maybe there's a child still living in my chest
Waiting for the day I stop and give it rest

[chorus]
Tell me, tell me, what happened to the dreamer
Tell me, tell me, why the world got meaner
I just want to feel the way I used to feel
Somebody tell me, is any of it real
