about

This song is about those who create and how it is that they, even when seemingly consigned to labor in obscurity, can change our lives. If we let them.

lyrics

There's a dreamer in the corner
With the magic in his hands
A high-flier, out on a wire
Could be the leader of the band

If you look you can see just as far as you want too
Maybe learn a thing or two

A make-believer, fantasy reeler
He can show you all he's made
A revealer, scenery-steeler
You might say his stock and trade

Please don't let on you know when he's spinning his stories
He just needs someone to believe

Won't you bend a knee for the life unsung
And for those who toil in vain
Remind us, come and find us again

Just like a diviner, metallurgic refiner
He will cast you in his trance
A moonshiner, cosmic designer
Won't you join his song and dance

There and then all that ever was is gonna transcend you
Ain't no better thing to do
