I Have A Dream
Amanda Seyfried & Stellan Skarsgard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
I'm nothin' special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore
When I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I'm so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud
So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it? I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance, what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
But I often wonder, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing could capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan
So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it? I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance, what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
I want to sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it? I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance, what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
"I Have a Dream" is a song by Amanda Seyfried, originally featured in the movie "Mamma Mia!". The song is about having a dream or a fantasy that you use to help you cope with the difficulties of reality. The song describes a belief in the power of angels and the importance of seeing the wonder in the world around you, like a fairy tale or a melody. The chorus repeats the phrase "I have a dream," symbolizing the idea that no matter how hard life gets or how many times you fail, you can always keep pushing forward as long as you have a dream to hold onto.
The lyrics also hint at the idea that the singer has a talent for singing, and that singing is a way for her to express gratitude for the joy that music brings to her life. The second half of the song introduces a new melody, "Thank You for the Music," which serves as a thank you letter to music itself for the way it brings people together and gives them purpose.
Overall, "I Have a Dream" is a hopeful song that encourages listeners to hold onto their dreams and believe in the goodness of the world around them.

Feeling blessed and grateful for the opportunities music has brought
