The summer of dreams
Verse
We were looking for adventure.
Searching for a cause.
We thought that rules were for adults.
Disrespected law.
Pre chorus
Passion ruled our hearts
Logic lost its hold.
Foolish kids in love.
Crazy wild and bold.
Chorus
Summer of dreams, summer of dreams.
It was the summer of dreams.
Verse
We were fighting for tomorrow.
Trying to break chains.
We thought we could make things better.
Advocating change.
Pre chorus
Passion ruled our hearts
Logic lost its hold.
Foolish kids in love.
Crazy wild and bold.
Chorus
Summer of dreams, summer of dreams.
It was the summer of dreams.
Bridge
There were lessons learned that summer.
You kept fighting, I grew wise.
I learned we cannot change the world.
We can only change our lives.
Pre chorus
Passion ruled our hearts
Logic lost its hold.
Foolish kids in love.
Crazy wild and bold.
Chorus
Summer of dreams, summer of dreams.
It was the summer of dreams.

Logic lost its hold.
Foolish kids in love.
Crazy wild and bold.

Summer of dreams, summer of dreams.
It was the summer of dreams.
Summer of dreams, summer of dreams.
Ooh! summer of dreams.
