This Could Be a Dream
Aurora Lyrics

Look up at the light
I am urging you to pay attention to what's around you; to open your eyes and observe the world.

This could be a dream or it could be real
What we are experiencing right now is ambiguous; it may be a dream or it may be reality, and we are unsure which is which.

Dive into my mind
Come with me and explore my thoughts, my feelings, my imagination, my subconscious; let's open ourselves up to the world inside.

And don't come up for air
Don't take a break, don't shy away from confronting the unknown, the challenging or the difficult; stay immersed and engaged no matter how hard it gets.

You won't need it here
You won't need to take a breath or catch your breath because there's something special about this world I'm inviting you into.

Can I move you?
Can I inspire you or motivate you to do something new or different; can I make a difference in your life?

Can I soothe your fear?
Can I help you overcome your fear or anxiety; can I offer comfort, solace or reassurance?

Could you trust love?
Do you have faith in love, in its existence, its meaning and its value; do you believe in the power of love to heal and transform?

If I prove it's there
If I demonstrate to you that love does exist and that it is present in our lives and our connections, will you believe me?

Oh, I need to know it, too
I also need to believe in love, to feel its warmth and its beauty, to trust in its power and its purpose.

And now I don't feel you
I feel disconnected from you or from the world; I don't sense your presence, your energy or your support anymore, and it troubles me.

So I lift myself and I close my eyes
I try to elevate my mood, my spirit, my consciousness by shutting out the distractions and focusing on my inner world instead.

And I sing sometimes to know I'm alive
I use music, song or other creative expression to connect with my emotions, my instincts, my vitality and to affirm my existence.

I know I should figure this out on my own
I realize that I am responsible for my own choices, my own path, my own destiny, and I shouldn't rely too much on others' help or guidance.

But if you come by could you take me home?
However, if you happen to be nearby or if you have the opportunity to provide me with some support, some guidance or some companionship, would you be willing to do that for me?

I get back up when the wind is strong
I am tenacious, resilient and determined; I don't back down or give up when faced with obstacles, setbacks or adversity, instead, I rise up and try again.

But I wish I knew how it felt to run
However, I also feel a sense of curiosity, a yearning for a different experience or a different pace, and I wonder what it would be like to break free, to explore, to sprint.

I know I'm not alone
I am aware that I am part of a larger community, a wider humanity, and that I share common struggles, desires and aspirations with others.

And if you come by could you take me home?
And if you happen to be part of that community, or if you want to be, and if you can offer me some sense of belonging, of safety or of rootedness, would you let me in?

Being so alive
Being fully present and conscious in the world, feeling every sensation and emotion with intensity, can be both exhilarating and overwhelming.

Can hurt so very much
The intensity of life can also bring pain, loss, disappointment, grief or heartbreak, making us question whether it is worth it or not.

When you're losing touch
When we feel disconnected from our own selves, our own values or our own sense of purpose, life can seem meaningless or futile.

But if I touched you, would I feel it there?
However, if we connect with someone else, if we touch or embrace another person, or if someone touches or embraces us, we may rediscover that sense of aliveness, of presence, and feel it more vividly.

Could I trust love even if I'm scared?
Even if we are afraid to be vulnerable, to open up or to let ourselves be loved, we may still choose to trust in the power of love, in its ability to heal, soothe and inspire us.

Oh, I wish I could give like I'm longing to give
We may feel a strong desire to be generous, kind, compassionate, selfless and to make a positive impact on others, but we may also feel frustrated, helpless or impeded in some way.

Oh, I wish I could live like I'm longing to live
We may also feel a longing for a more authentic, meaningful, purposeful life, a life that aligns with our values, our passions and our visions, but we may also feel constrained, limited or uncertain about how to achieve it.

This could be a dream
Again, the ambiguity of reality can make us wonder whether what we are experiencing is a dream, a fantasy, a projection of our own imagination or a true experience of the world.

This could be a dream
Alternatively, this could be a call to action, an invitation to explore our dreams, our creativity, our deepest desires and aspirations, and to pursue them with courage, curiosity and faith.
