Dream a Dream
Charlotte Church. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the sea is calm
Lonely shadow, you call upon me
Lay by my side
Fear not tonight
Lonely shadow, you'll find a new light
And see through angel's eyes
A place where we can fly away
Ride with me upon a shining star,
Above the moonlit sky
We will find Elysium
Hear the nightingale
Sing a lullaby
Lonely shadow, you'll find a new light
Dawn will be kind,
All will be bright,
Lonely shadow, rise from the darkness
Dream a dream
And see through angel's eyes
A place where we can fly away
Ride with me upon a shining star,
Above the moonlit sky once more
We'll dream a dream
And see through angel's eyes
A place where we can fly away
We'll dream a dream
And see through angel's eyes
A place where we can fly away
In Elysium
The song "Dream A Dream" by Charlotte Church provides a message of hope and encouragement to those who feel lost and alone. The lyrics begin with the image of a calm sea and night sky, and a lonely shadow calling out for someone to comfort them. The singer offers to lay by their side and promise not to let them fear the night. The use of the term 'lonely shadow' gives the impression that the person is feeling isolated and invisible against the backdrop of the vast and infinite world.
Throughout the song, the singer encourages the 'lonely shadow' to dream a dream and to see through angel's eyes. This is a powerful metaphor for seeing things from a higher perspective and finding hope in something greater than oneself. The idea of flying away to a place called Elysium, where the moonlit sky and the shining star can take them to a new light is like being transported to a realm of pure imagination and enchantment.
The song ends with the assurance that dawn will be kind and all will be bright again, and the lonely shadow can rise from the darkness. This song can be interpreted as an expression of compassion, empathy, hope and faith in a higher power that can heal and transform all that is broken.

Above the moonlit sky once more
Far from the moonlit sky we know
We'll dream a dream
We'll keep imagining
And see through angel's eyes
Our imagination will soar to greater heights
A place where we can fly away
Our imagination will be captivating
In Elysium
In Paradise
