He gets up every morning and he goes to work each

He sees his friends and family, he works and then he
plays,

But they never get to see the one he keeps so deep
inside,

The one he really wants to be he feels that he must
hide.
He works in an assembly line in a downtown factory,
He does his job the best he can, but it's not where he wants
to be,
Outside the gate, his charger waits! but only he can see,
So it's back to the grind for another day, oh when will he be
free?
Chorus:

He's a dream warrior, he rides across the lands.

He's a dream warrior, there's magic in his hands,

And yet he fears the people near, he's afraid that
they won't see

So he hides away within himself, with his pride, and
his chivalry
Now the day is done and it's home from work, to see his
kids and wife.
To him she is a princess, she's led a sheltered life.
In a tower of blue he pays his dues, his lady captured waits,
Then he turns into his driveway past the mailbox and the
gate.
He tells his kids a bedtime tale, his daughter and his
son,
Of wizards and knights, and mighty kings, and battles fought
and won,
Then it's off to sleep, and he dreams so deep, as in his bed
he lays,
So he fights tonight! because he knows that tomorrow, is a
busy day.
Chorus
His honor still comes first to him but it gets harder
every day,
To see the ones around him breaking promises they've made.
So he keeps his own, and like a stone, in him they'll never
know,
The way he really lives his life, the way he'll never show.
Because he'll never quit the cause, he'll never give up
his dreams,
And he'll live his life all by himself, or so to him it
seems,
Because they might think he's crazy and they might think it's
just a whim,
So he wonders if he'll ever meet someone who's just like him.
