Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A song to sing
To help me cope
With anything
If you see the wonder (wonder)
Of a fairy tale
You can take the future
Even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream, oh yeah
I have a dream (have a dream)
A fantasy (fantasy)
To help me through (help me through)
Reality (reality)
And my destination (destination)
Makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness (through the darkness, baby)
Still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream (cross the stream)
I have a dream
I have a dream (oh yeah)
A song to sing (a song to sing)
To help me cope
With anything
If you see the wonder (if you see the wonder )
Of a fairy tale (of a fairy tale)
You can take the future
Even if you fail (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see (everything)
I believe in angels (angels)
When I know the time is right for me (right for me)
I'll cross the stream (cross the stream)
I have a dream (have a dream)
I'll cross the stream (cross the stream)
I have a dream
Oh, oh
"I Have a Dream" is one of the most well-known songs by the Irish boy band Westlife. It was written by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus of ABBA and was originally released in 1979. The song has a powerful message about hope, determination, and the belief that anything is possible if you truly believe in yourself. The lyrics are about the singer's dream to achieve his heart's desire in life, no matter how difficult the journey may be.
The song begins with the lines "I have a dream, a song to sing, to help me cope with anything." This shows that the singer is not afraid of taking on challenges in life and is ready to tackle them head-on. The reference to angels throughout the song reflects the singer's belief in the supernatural power that can guide us through the difficult times. The line "I'll cross the stream, I have a dream" is a metaphor that signifies the singer's determination to overcome any obstacle and reach his ultimate destination.
The overall meaning of the song is about holding onto your dreams and never giving up even when the road ahead looks rough. We all have a dream to live life with purpose and meaning, and the song encourages us to stay hopeful and resilient, even in the face of adversity. The final lyrics "I have a dream" repeated three times, with the melody rising each time, shows that the dream is coming true.

My grandpa was from Norway and was a huge ABBA fan. I grew up with him playing ABBA all the time. This past summer he had a massive stroke, I played this song for him when he was in the ICU. He squeezed my hand to the beat of this song. He is my angel now and I think of him every time I hear this song. Thank you for the music ABBA.
