[Verse] First It was a dream It wasn't real (I had to make it so) Then it was a thing It wasn't there (I had to hold it close) Then it was a scream It wasn't loud (I had to make it known) Then it was a beam It wasn't wide (I had to make it glow) [Chorus] A dream An obsession A nightmare A dream An obsession A nightmare [Verse 2] Then it was a goal It wasn't met (I had to keep it goin') Then it was a prize It wasn't mine (I had to get it stolen) Then it was a treasure It wasn't lost (I had to have it shown) Then it was a dream It wasn't true (I had to make it so) [Chorus] A dream An obsession A nightmare A dream An obsession A nightmare [Verse 3] Then it was a chore It wasn't done (I had to keep it goin') Then it was a task It wasn't easy (I had to keep it rollin') Then it was a race It wasn't won (I had to take it home) Then it was a dream It wasn't real (I had to make it so) [Chorus] A dream An obsession A nightmare A dream An obsession A nightmare [Bridge] It was a dream It wasn't real (I had to make it so) Then it was a prize It wasn't mine (I had to get it stolen) Then it was a race It wasn't won (I had to take it home) It was a dream It wasn't real (I had to make it so) [Chorus] A dream An obsession A nightmare A dream An obsession A nightmare [End]
