He'd drink a pint of rum every night with a man called dad
and one stormy summer he ran away with my momma
He taught me to hide and tell train wrecking lies
Concealing the shame in my life

You gotta' walk before you run
He kept saying
and if you never get out of bed then well your ahead
No cuts, No bruises caused by the risks dared to be taken by dreaming
And Dreams are just for fools with nothing tom lose
Lessons given by Mr. Boogeyman Fear
Catch your dreams in a safety net
catch your dreams on a wish & a star
It's gotta' be easier making dreams out of who we are (x2)

I cleaned the house while he kicked and screamed
tellin' the truth with a twist
Play it safe think it through
Sit and wait haste makes waste
Well it's time to go Boogeyman Fear
to much time is lost so you better get the hell out of here
All I got by heeding your warnings
sleepless nights, dismal mornings
Good-bye Mr. BoogeyMan Fear
I'm tired of runnin' i'm tired of being scared

Catch your dreams in a safety net
catch your dreams on a wish & a star
It's gotta' be easier making dreams out of who we are (x2)

I want to run, reach and dive
I'm livin' life and I'm livin' it now
It wouldn't be a waste of time as long as I tried
With a bruise or with it all
I'll just be glad I had the balls
Better late than never is what they say hey hey

I still see Mr. Boogeyman Fear
Incognito or just plain crystal clear
He's cloaked in a shadow of doubt
I'll start a fire to put him out
Shed some light on this darkness in my mind
I'll try to, try to shed some light on this darkness in my
mind
