Dream On
Dio Malmsteen Lyrics

Every time that I look into the mirror
Whenever I see my reflection in the mirror

All these lines in my face getting clearer
I am starting to see more and more of the effects of time on my face

The past is gone
What happened before is over and cannot be changed

It went by like dusk to dawn
The past seemed to pass quickly, like how dusk turns into dawn

Isn't that the way
Isn't that how things always seem to happen

Everybody's got their dues in life to pay
Everyone has to face challenges or struggles in their lifetime

Well, I know, nobody knows
While I understand this concept, nobody really knows all the answers

Where it comes and where it goes
People don't always know where things come from or where they go, metaphorically speaking

I know it's everybody's sin
I understand that everyone experiences wrongdoing or mistakes in their life

You got lose to know how to win
Sometimes you have to experience failure or loss in order to learn how to succeed

Half my life's in books' written pages
Around 50% of my life experiences have been described in books or written material

Lived and learned from fools and from sages
I have gained knowledge from both foolish people and wise individuals

You know it's true, oh
You can believe what I'm saying because it's true

All these things come back to you
The knowledge you gain in life will always come back to benefit you in some way

Sing with me, sing for the years
Join me in song, singing for all the years we've lived

Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing for all the joyous and sad moments we've experienced

Sing with me, just for today
Sing along with me, at least for today

Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take it away
Perhaps tomorrow, God will lift our burdens or struggles

Hey-hey-hey
An exclamation meant to express cheerfulness or excitement

Dream on, dream on, dream on
Keep dreaming, don't give up hope

Dream yourself a dream come true
Imagine your dreams becoming a reality

Dream until your dream comes true
Keep dreaming and striving until you achieve your desired outcome

Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on
Continue to dream and never give up

Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on, oh
An elongated repetition of the previous line

Maybe tomorrow will pull out and take it away, yeah
Perhaps tomorrow will remove our struggles or take away our worries
