Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So far across the sea (repeat)
To have you all, my dreamland
Would be like heaven to me (repeat)
We'll get our breakfast from the tree
We'll get our honey from the bees
We'll take a ride on the waterfalls
And all the glories, we'll have them all
And we'll live together on that dreamland
And have so much fun (repeat)
Oh, what a time that will be
Oh yes, we'll wait, wait, wait and see
We'll count the stars up in the sky...
...And surely we'll never die

He looks forward to a time when he will count the stars with his loved ones and never die.

There's a land that I have heard about
I have heard about a mythical place
So far across the sea
This mythical place is very far away
To have you all, my dreamland
If I had this place, it would be like heaven
Would be like heaven to me
It would bring immense joy and happiness
We'll get our breakfast from the tree
There is an abundance of fruit in this place
We'll get our honey from the bees
Nature provides in this place
We'll take a ride on the waterfalls
This place has streams and waterfalls for adventure
And all the glories, we'll have them all
All the beautiful things in this place are open for us to enjoy
And we'll live together on that dreamland
We can all stay together in this place
And have so much fun
We can amuse ourselves and never run out of activities
Oh, what a time that will be
It will be a wonderful experience
Oh yes, we'll wait, wait, wait and see
We are willing to wait and see how it pans out
We'll count the stars up in the sky...
There is opportunity for star-gazing in this place
...And surely we'll never die
The experience is so heavenly that we will feel immortal

Thank you 🙏 I’m n my 20s atm to..same situation sorta bad childhood I’ve let it control everything
And it’s completely ruined my life/hope/motivation..
I’m on the road to figuring it out..had to loose my family tho…..
Wife left sons gone
Left at my lowest all alone…
Really though it’s showed me alot of stuff I’ve been missing
Somewhat feel like I needed this I dont know
They say god gives his toughest battles to his toughest soldiers but man
I’ve been through plenty battles when will it end? I feel like I’m doing better tho hopefully u stay in this mindset
