Eight years old wearing his daddy's hard hat
He grabbed the water hose
Says he saw the fireman do it like that

His wagon was his ladder truck
He pulled it around, and at the top of his lungs
He'd make a fire engine sound


In The Dream
He is more than just a hero

More than anything he ever wanted to be
In The Dream
There's a world that lasts forever

And life is so much better than it seems
Close your eyes you can be anything
In The Dream


Fumbling through the attic
She found her mother's old wedding dress

She said someday she'd wear it
And wouldn't mama be impressed
She can just about imagine what everyone would say

When her knight in shining armor comes to carry her away

In The Dream

She's as pretty as a picture
More than anything she ever wanted to be
In The Dream

There's a world that lasts forever
And life is so much better than it seems
Close your eyes you can be anything

In The Dream

On the one side of the isle

Sits all her family
On the other side are all his friends from Engine 53
When she looks at him

I wonder if he knows
To her he's still the boy she met 20 years ago


In The Dream
He's more than just a hero
She pretty as a picture

Like they wanted to be
In The Dream
There's a world that lasts forever

And life is so much better than it seems
Close your eyes you can be anything
Close your eyes you can be anything

In The Dream
