   I dreamt of a  suit a suit so fine I dressed my words  in
   Sewn and tailor  made with song in mind made of  melody
   Stitched by threads of  notes with perfect pitch, perfectly  composed
   Sound in tune and  key, a code of rhythm, and  harmony

 But when I awoke my coat was worn and my words were plain
 Each song that I sang all the notes were wrong and poorly played
 Both my sleeves had holes, my knees were patched, my shoes needed soles
 No clever disguise no way to hide my offensive tone
 But I, I wish for you more than I can give, than I can do
 Yeah you, you deserve the best an anthem not my hand-me-down tune
 Yeah you, you deserve the best an anthem not my hand-me-down tune
