Paul foglino

Every day I get up and the day begins
And every day I dig a hole and I fill it in
People say, you're crazy, man, now don't you care
But I know there's treasure buried right down there
I watch my dreams collect like dirt around a poor boy's neck

These dreams shine like diamonds
Down in my soul
These dreams shine like diamonds
And I'm digging for coal

Sometimes it gets so hard to bear
When people look at me like I'm not even there
Or ask me what I've got to say
And nod their heads like it don't matter anyway
They don't pay me any mind cause I'm too dumb or they're too blind

I see people get ahead
Or people eating cake instead of daily bread
But I ain't got it all that rough
If dreams don't take me anywhere they seem to take me far enough
It ain't much but it's okay to sleep all night and dream all day
