"Dreamer" is the third track from English singer-songwriter Ozzy Osbourne's album Down to Earth , which was released in 2001. The single peaked at number 10 on the US Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. The song describes the rockstar's vision of people and humanity destroying Earth. In the liner notes to Osbourne's Prince of Darkness box set, Ozzy refers to this song as his version of John Lennon's "Imagine". The Japanese and European press of the single also include a slightly different version of the song, dubbed "Dreamer (acoustic)", and a previously unreleased song titled "Black Skies".
