Lyrics:

[Saul Williams]
Cyborg, android
D-boy, decoy
Water, wisdom
Tightrope, vision (Oh, these dreams are forever)
Insight, stronghold
Heartless, ice cold (If you leave now or never)
Mystery, mastery (mastery)
Solar (solar), battery

[Janelle Monáe]
Some will pull the gun because they want to be stars
Snatching up your life into the blink of an eye
And if you see your cloning on a street walking by
Keep a-running for your life 'cause only one will survive (Oh, these dreams are forever)

War is in the street and it's an eye for an eye
Run on for your life or you can dance you can die (If you leave now or never)
She's praying in the sand like she's the last samurai
It's a stick-up stick-up and a pick-up pick-up

Telling lies and telling lies will put your face on fire
Run and tell your friends to never dream, never win
Ghettos keep a-cryin' till the streets full of zombies
Kids are killing kids and then the kids join the army

Rising and a-waking, yes sir here come the sun
March into the warring with the kick of the drum
The wiser simians, they got the bomb and the guns
So you might as well keep dancing if you're not gonna run

(Forever, forever, forever, forever)
A long long way to find the one
We'll keep on dancing till she comes
These dreams are forever
Oh these dreams are forever

(Forever, forever, forever, forever)
And if you wanna wake the sun
Just keep on marching to the drums
These dreams are forever
Oh these dreams are forever
These dreams are forever

N-N-Now-now-now I'm not saying it's better to bailar
You can pull the trigger or you build you an ark
My words are rather kind you keep them held in contempt
Looking for a nine and then a droid you can tempt

Kids are, 'Zombie, zombie, zombie, where do dreams come from?'
A little birdie chirping and she's singing a song
She's shaking 'em and waking 'em and giving 'em mas
As the clock tick-tocked and the bodies drop

I'm gonna lay myself so far way down right in your chops
Modern day example of a wolf vs flock
Freedom necessary and it's by any means
Frozen they were stolen all the kings and the queens

Sudanese and Congolese who put the roll in the rock
From here to Sudan, Metropolis to Iraq
It's a minute to the dawn and yet the sun ain't back
It's a war in all the streets and yes these freaks will dance or die

(Forever, forever, forever, forever)
A long long way to find the one
We'll keep on dancing till she comes
These dreams are forever
Oh these dreams are forever

(Forever, forever, forever, forever)
And if you wanna wake the sun
Just keep on marching to the drums
These dreams are forever
Oh these dreams are forever
Oh these dreams are forever

[Saul Williams]
Angel, blossom
Gunshot, dodging
Dream, bright
Beat, light
Breathe, live
Help, give
Focus, trance
Wake up, dance

[Janelle Monáe]
I'm praying for the man sitting without much time
May he understand the clock will never rewind
Wisen him and sharpen him and give him a motto
Hate no more, said he must hate no more

You see the daylight comes into the kingdom
But the kingdom's full of ignorant men
Just keep rebelling away, you gotta dream it away
Because the weathermen you're seeing ain't creating the weather

This man wants to see a jubilation
And that man wants us in emancipation
And then there is the man who wants a stronger nation
But you see we really got to and I think that we ought to

Protect the mind from degradation
Sow in the seeds of education
They run from us, are we that dangerous?
There's a war in all the streets and yes the freaks will dance or die!

(Forever, forever, forever, forever)
A long long way to find the one
We'll keep on dancing till she comes
These dreams are forever
Oh these dreams are forever

(Forever, forever, forever, forever)
And if you wanna wake the sun
Just keep on marching to the drums
These dreams are forever
Oh these dreams are forever
Oh these
