Dream Away
Lisa Stansfield Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When this world, the real that world you're living in
Just gets too much for you to take
When you find too many troubles on your mind then
Feel just like there is no escape

And it seems your heart's forgotten how to believe
Turn a page in your soul
There's a place you can go
Close your eyes and let your heart fly free
(Fly free)

Dream away, dream away
Let imagination light your way
Take you as far as your heart can see, dream

Dream away, dream away
To a place where hope is shining
Find your silver lining
(Find your silver lining)
Everything you need is just a dream away
(Everything)

Remember when the dream could take you anywhere
(Remember when, anywhere you want to)
Just to wish anything could be
When the father, Sol is one more star you could reach
Take a look in your heart 'cause that's where dreams are where starts

Anything is real if you just believe
(Believe, believe)

Dream away, dream away
Let imagination light your way
Take you as far as your heart can see, dream

Dream away, dream away
To a place where hope is shining
Find your silver lining
Everything you need is just a dream away
(Everything )

All it takes is faith to make
Your dream come true, ah ah
And somewhere in this world there'll be somebody
To share your dreams with you

Oh yeah, oh yeah, dream away, dream away
Let imagination light your way
Take you as far as your heart can see, dream

Dream away, dream away
To a place where hope is shining
Find your silver lining
(Find your silver lining)
Everything you need is just a dream, just a dream away

This movie caused me to turn to reading. As a bullied child, I escaped in books. This song makes me cry as an adult because I see myself in it. Now as a librarian's assistant, I found my dream.

MrGabeanator

wow

e

You did not escape you just found who you was meant to be in life, a person of knowledge and understanding through covers and papers. Reading has captured you and now you can feel free in doing what you are good at and find pleasure in life.
