A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you will loose your heartache
Whatever you wish for, you keep

Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true

Oh, that clock!
Oh, killjoy
I hear you, come on, get up you say
Time to start another day
Even he orders me around
Well, there's one thing
They can't order me to stop dreaming
And perhaps someday
The dreams that I wish will come true

No matter how your heart is grieving




If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true

Overall Meaning

The song A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes from the 1950 Disney movie Cinderella, is a song that encourages us to hold onto our dreams, even when the world seems to be against us. The first two verses, "A dream is a wish your heart makes/When you're fast asleep/In dreams you will lose your heartache/Whatever you wish for, you keep" speak to the power of our imagination when we are feeling lost and alone. Dreams can offer solace, even if it's only for a moment. Whether we are wishing to find love or hoping for a better life outside of our current circumstances, dreams can offer a sense of hope that keeps us going.


The second verse, "Have faith in your dreams and someday/Your rainbow will come smiling through/No matter how your heart is grieving/If you keep on believing/The dream that you wish will come true" talks about how our dreams are contingent on our faith in them. Even when our hearts are in pain, we must continue to believe that our dreams will come true. We must have the courage to hold onto the hope that someday, somehow, our dreams will come to fruition. That 'rainbow' mentioned in the song, stands as a symbol of hope, that one day our dreams will come true.


The final verse, "Well, there's one thing/They can't order me to stop dreaming/And perhaps someday/The dreams that I wish will come true" speaks to the determination we need to have to pursue our dreams. While others may try to hold us back or discourage us from dreaming, we must remain steadfast and keep dreaming. For someday, the dreams that we wish for will come true. This song is not only a message of hope but also a reminder to keep believing and never give up on our dreams.

A dream is a wish your heart makes, when you're fast asleep
In dreams, you will lose your heartaches, whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday, your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true

A dream is a wish your heart makes, when you're feeling small
Alone, in the night you whisper thinking no one can hear you at all
You wake with the morning sunlight, to find fortune that is smiling on you
Don't let your heart be filled with sorrow, for all you know tomorrow
The dream that you wish will come true

Not just 1 verse, 2 verses!
