Dreamer
Ozzy Osbourne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wondering will Mother Earth survive
Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her, sometime
After all there's only just the two of us
And here we are still fighting for our lives
Watching all of history repeat itself, time after time
I'm just a dreamer, who dreams of better days
I watch the sun go down like everyone of us
I'm hoping that the dawn will bring a sign
A better place for those who will come after us, this time
I'm just a dreamer, I dream my life away oh yeah
I'm just a dreamer, who dreams of better days
Your higher power maybe God or Jesus Christ
It doesn't really matter much to me
Without each others help there ain't no hope for us
I'm living in a dream of fantasy, oh yeah yeah yeah!
If only we could all just find serenity
It would be nice if we could live as one
When will all this anger, hate and bigotry be gone?
I'm just a dreamer, I dream my life away (today)
I'm just a dreamer, who dreams of better days (okay)
I'm just a dreamer, who's searching for the way (today)
I'm just a dreamer, dreaming my life away (oh yeah yeah yeah)
The lyrics to Ozzy Osbourne's song Dreamer tackle an issue that is still very much applicable today - the state of our planet and the way we treat it. The first stanza of the song paints a picture of a person gazing outside a window at the world and wondering whether it will survive. The lyrics express a sense of concern for Mother Earth and carry a message that we should stop abusing her. The fact that the singer mentions that there are only two of them fighting for their lives implies that there is a sense of isolation in this fight.
The song's chorus, "I'm just a dreamer, who dreams of better days", communicates a message of hope. The singer expresses his desire for a better world, one where people live as one without anger, hate, and bigotry. He acknowledges the role that a higher power, be it God or Jesus Christ, can play, but also underscores the importance of people helping each other.
Overall, the song Dreamer is a call to action, an appeal to humanity to do better and take care of the planet and each other. It is a song that encourages hope and encourages people to dream of a better world, and in doing so, take steps to make those dreams a reality.

My father always loved to listen to Ozzy. I was actually the one that introduced him to this one, which is my favorite song. I lost dad 2 days ago and I have found myself listening to all his favorites. He was an amazing man.
