Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Yeah, yeah)
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
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
When you can dream then you can start
A dream is a wish you make with your heart
When you can dream then you can start
A dream is a wish you make with your heart
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
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
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true
When you can dream then you can start
A dream is a wish you make with your heart
When you can dream then you can start
A dream is a wish you make with your heart
When you can dream then you can start
A dream is a wish you make with your heart
"A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes" is a song that speaks about the power of dreaming and how it can help a person overcome their struggles. In the first verse, it is expressed that when one is fast asleep, the dream becomes a wish that the heart makes. Dreams, in a way, act as an escape mechanism that allows individuals to forget their heartaches and problems, and it serves as a way to keep any wish forever in the confines of the mind. The song encourages the listener to have faith in their dreams and that one day, a rainbow will come smiling through their struggles.
The second verse talks about whispering to oneself to avoid feeling alone at night. It assures that tomorrow could bring good fortune such as a dream-come-true. The third and fourth verse reassure listeners that their heartfelt dream will come true if they don't let their heart be filled with sorrow and if they keep on believing. The song reinforces that when a person can dream, they can start achieving their dreams, and a dream is created when one makes a wish from their heart.
