Dreamland
Bunny Livingston Lyrics
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 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
The lyrics of Bunny Livingston/Wailers' song "Dreamland" talk about a faraway land that he has heard about from across the sea. This place is his dreamland, and having everyone he loves there would be pure joy and heaven to him. The lyrics create an image of this dreamland where they will gather their breakfast from the trees, get honey from the bees, and ride on waterfalls. There is an emphasis on all the glories they will experience and live together in this land that will bring them so much fun. The song creates an image of a utopian society where they can live in harmony and happiness. The last line in the lyrics, "surely we'll never die," emphasizes the eternal bliss they will experience in this dreamland forever.
The mood of the song is playful, vivid, and optimistic. The use of nature themes makes the listeners imagine a better place far from the urban chaos. The lyrics of "Dreamland" portray an image of hope for better days, peace, and love. The song doesn't talk about any political influence or revolution.

There's a land that I have heard about
There is a mystical world that I have come to know of
So far across the sea (repeat)
It is located at a great distance, beyond the sea
To have you all, my dreamland
If I could have you all with me in this fantasy land
Would be like heaven to me (repeat)
It would be nothing short of a paradise
We'll get our breakfast from the tree
We'll gather our morning meal from the flora
We'll get our honey from the bees
We'll extract our sweetness from the insects
We'll take a ride on the waterfalls
We'll experience the rush of water from high elevations
And all the glories, we'll have them all
We'll have access to all the wonderful things this place has to offer
And we'll live together on that dreamland
We'll coexist in this dreamland
And have so much fun (repeat)
And find endless joy in doing so
Oh, what a time that will be
It's a time that we cannot wait to experience
Oh yes, we'll wait, wait, wait and see
We'll be patient and look forward to that time
We'll count the stars up in the sky...
We will gaze upon the stars that light up the heavens
...And surely we'll never die
We'll live forever in bliss and happiness

"There's a land that I have heard about
So far across the sea.
There's a land that I have heard about
So far across the sea.
To have you on my dreamland
Would be like heaven to me.
To have you on my dreamland
Would be like heaven to me.
We'll get our breakfast from the tree,
We'll get our honey from the bee,
We'll take ride on the waterfall,
And all the glories, we'll have them all.
And we’ll live together on that dreamland
And have so much fun.
We’ll live together on that dreamland
And have so much fun.
Oh, what a time that will be,
Oh, just to wait, wait, wait and see!
We'll count the stars up in the sky
And surely we'll never die.
And surely we'll never die."

The Wailers are re-united in the world beyond. Bob singing Rastaman Chant, Peter singing Stop that train and Bunny singing Dreamland. In all these tunes The Wailers voice can be heard. So true Bunny "and surely we'll never die". Rest easy Brother man. This song is priceless. Keep belting those tunes in the world beyond. Iyah!
