dreamland
Bob Marley & the Wailers潣⽭ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a land that I have heard about

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

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
