Dreamer
Jewel (Children's) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't want to hear no sad songs
I say to the darkness
But it doesn't respond
I ask if I sing a new one
Will I always sing alone

So long I have no lonely sorrow
How could I fade to here
The sound of all the sleeping hearts
The timed hopefuls waiting for a path to be clear

[Chorus]
I can hear a sweet melody
Beneath it all
And it says brave dreamer
Dream a new you won't always dream by yourself
You won't be dream by yourself everybody's gonna sing along

Loneliness has bite my heart
I know its wounded your heart to
But our longing is our revolution
It's going to bring world anew

[Chorus]

But is it possible
I say yes its possible
Made it possible

Oh I can hear a sweet melody
Beneath it all
And it says be brave dreamer
Dream a new

You won't always dream by yourself
No you wont dream by yourself




No no you won't dream by yourself
Everybody's gonna sing a long

Dont wanna hear no sad songs
I say to the darkness
But it doesnt respond
I ask if I sing a new one
Will I always sing alone?

For so long I have known only sorrow
How could I fail to hear?
The sound of all the sleeping hearts
The timid hopefuls
Waiting for a path to be clear

I can hear a sweet melody beneath it all
It says brave dreamer, dream anew
And you won't always dream by yourself
You won't dream by yourself
Everybody's gonna sing along

Loneliness has bit my heart
I know it's wounded your heart, too
But our longing is our revolution
It's gonna bring a world anew

I can hear a sweet melody beneath it all
It says brave dreamer, dream anew
And you won't always dream by yourself
You won't dream by yourself
Everybody's gonna sing along

Is it possible?
Is it possible?
Is it possible?

I can hear a sweet melody beneath it all
And it says be brave dreamer, dream anew
And you won't always dream by yourself
No, you won't dream by yourself
No, you won't dream by yourself
Everybody's gonna sing along
