Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(B. Russell, M. Cawley, K. Fleming)
Producer: Trevor Horn
Album: Wildest Dreams (96)

I've been running from the truth
I've been running since my youth, tired of running
I will stand here till you see
I am you and you are me, tired of running
There really is no difference when you look beneath the skin
Someday I know we'll go beyond this world we're living in

Now when I lay me down to sleep I will be dancing in my dreams
Seeing the way it all should be I will be dancing
Now when I lay me down to sleep I will be dancing in my dreams
Seeing the way it all should be I will be dancing
Dancing in my dreams

There's no hiding in the dark
From the beating of my heart it's getting louder
Just as long as we believe
The truth will set us free, it's getting louder
All that really matters is the light in your face
In you I see the longing of the whole human race

Now when I lay me down to sleep I will be dancing in my dreams
Seeing the way it all should be I will be dancing
Now when I lay me down to sleep I will be dancing in my dreams
Seeing the way it all should be I will be dancing
Dancing in my dreams

On and on the story goes
Or it's the passing of the torch




With one small voice it all begins
Then there are millions more, millions more
