I have the same dream Ozzy!

As you may or may not know, one of my biggest musical inspirations has always been Ozzy Osbourne. I first heard Ozzy when I was 9 years old, that was ummm…. 23 years ago or something. His metal antics aside, frequently Ozzy has said or done something that is mind blowing. I get that overwhelming feeling each time I hear the song “Dreamer”.

Reminiscent of John Lennon’s “Imagine”, Ozzy wrote and recorded this anthem for a generation that missed out on Lennon. While Ozzy cannot replace John Lennon, he wrote a song just as comparable in my mind. I hope the song inspires you, as it does me, each and every time I hear it.

Rather than go off on a tirade about how awesome Ozzy and this song are, here is the video. Below the video, are the lyrics to the song. Enjoy!

“Gazing through the window at the world outside
Wondering if mother earth will survive
Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her, sometime

After all theres just the two of us
And here we are still fighting for our lives
Watching all of history repeat itself, time after time

Im just a dreamer, I dream my life away
Im just a dreamer, who dreams of better days

I watch the sun go down like everyone of us
Im hoping that the dawn will bring a sign
A better place for those who will come after us this time

Im just a dreamer, I dream my life away, oh yeah
Im just a dreamer, who dreams of better days

Your higher power may be God or jesus christ
It doesnt really matter much to me
Without each others help there aint no hope for us
Im living in a dream, a fantasy
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

If only we could just find serenity
It would be nice if we could live as one
When will all this anger, hate and bigotry be gone?

Im just a dreamer, I dream my life away, today
Im just a dreamer, who dreams of better days, ok
Im just a dreamer, whos searching for the way, today
Im just a dreamer, dreaming my life away
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.”
