He sells office supplies, and his nametag and tie Oh, they complete his secret identity Unknowing citizens shop for ballpoint pens To them he's just the guy who rings them up And he can't shake the feeling That this whole world's asleep He's full of vision no one else can see But soon he'll make it real 'Cause he knows how to keep believing Wake up dreaming On fifteen-minute breaks he fills his sketchbook page With characters sworn to protect the earth And they save humankind from evil masterminds They're his only hope in a sea of envelopes And he can't shake the feeling That this whole world's asleep He's full of vision no one else can see But soon he'll make it real 'Cause he knows how to keep believing Wake up dreaming And he keeps sketching fire escapes and back doors Knows there's got to be more to his life 'Cause he can't shake the feeling That this whole world's asleep He's full of vision no one else can see But soon he'll make it real 'Cause he knows how to keep believing Wake up dreaming
