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 song Dreamland by Bunny Livingstone and The Wailers speaks about a land beyond the sea, a place where one's dreams come true. The singer sees this place as a heaven where he and his loved ones can have all the glories and fun of life. The lyrics are filled with the promise of a beautiful life- one where breakfast grows on trees, honey comes from bees, and the waterfalls provide entertainment rides. The chorus consists of a yearning desire for this dreamland- a place where they will live together, and nothing will ever change.
The song's lyrics can be interpreted in many ways. Some see it as a metaphor for a better life or a utopian society, while others see it as an escape from reality. The references to breakfast trees, honeybees, and waterfalls provide a sense of innocence and simplicity that contrasts with the complexities of modern life.

There's a land that I have heard about
I have heard rumors about a distant land
So far across the sea (repeat)
Located a considerable distance away, separated by water
To have you all, my dreamland
If I had the company of you all, this place would be my utopia
Would be like heaven to me (repeat)
It would be a blissful paradise if we were all there together
We'll get our breakfast from the tree
Fresh fruit will be our breakfast of choice
We'll get our honey from the bees
We'll be able to enjoy the sweet taste of honey produced by bees
We'll take a ride on the waterfalls
We'll experience the thrill of sliding down a waterfall
And all the glories, we'll have them all
We'll seize every opportunity to enjoy the wonders that this place has to offer
And we'll live together on that dreamland
Everyone will coexist harmoniously in this paradise we call Dreamland
And have so much fun (repeat)
We'll keep ourselves thoroughly entertained and never tire of the good times
Oh, what a time that will be
It's going to be a fantastic time like no other
Oh yes, we'll wait, wait, wait and see
Anticipation builds as we impatiently wait for an opportunity to visit and experience Dreamland
We'll count the stars up in the sky...
We'll spend our nights observing the astronomical wonders situated in the sky
...And surely we'll never die
We'll be immortal in this fantasy world without a care in the world about the potential for death
