I Have A Dream
Abba-Esque Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the 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

I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness 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, I have a dream
I'll cross the stream, I have a dream

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the 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
I'll cross the stream, I have a dream

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.

Herzliches beleid wegen deinem Opa
Abba ist unsterblich
Ein geliebten Menschen zu verlieren tut weh ... hab schon viele geliebte Menschen gehen lassen müssen
meinen Papa vermisse ich am meisten
