SWEET DREAMS
Bert Kaempfert And His Orchestra Lyrics

Sweet dreams are made of this
The idea of a good life seems universal and attainable, however abstract it may be.

Who am I to disagree?
As a mere individual, I cannot refute the collective dream that most of us have.

I travel the world
I seek a better understanding of the common dream from different cultures and backgrounds.

And the seven seas,
I go to great lengths and distances just to witness the variations and similarities of the dream across the globe.

Everybody's looking for something.
Each person has their own interpretation of the universal dream, with their own motivations that come with it.

Some of them want to use you
Some people see others as a way to achieve their interpretation of the dream, without regard for their feelings or dignity.

Some of them want to get used by you
Others willfully sacrifice their own dignity and well-being to reach the same end goal as those who exploit them.

Some of them want to abuse you
There are also some who derive pleasure in taking advantage of others to the point of causing them harm.

Some of them want to be abused.
There are people who willingly subject themselves to abuse, perhaps out of a sense of unworthiness or a misguided belief that it will lead them to their dream.

Hold your head up
Despite the challenges that come with the pursuit of the dream, one must persevere and maintain resilience.

Keep your head up, movin' on
One must not let the setbacks and obstacles stop them from inching closer to their desired life.

Sweet dreams are made of this
The aspiration for a blissful life remains a constant despite the different forms it takes.

Who am I to disagree?
As an individual, my personal opinion is not enough to dispute the powerful urge most of us feel towards the dream.

I travel the world
I see the universal dreams from many cultures and backgrounds.

And the seven seas,
And across great distances and far-flung places.

Everybody's looking for something
Everyone is searching for a better life in their own way.

Sweet dreams are made of this
The ultimate goal of a better life is a frequent topic of our dreams and aspirations.

Who am I to disagree?
It's not up to me to disagree with the collective aspiration of us all.

I travel the world
To understand the existence and perceptions of different desires that people want to achieve.

And the seven seas,
Looking for answers that are hiding in many corners of the world.

Everybody's looking for something
The search for fulfillment is universal.
