A Million Dreams
Kim Bo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But say that you′ll bring me along
To the world you see
I close my eyes and I can see
The world that's waiting up for me
That I call my own
We can live in a world that we design
'Cause every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it′s gonna take
A million dreams for the world we′re gonna make
You, you may be right, you may be wrong
Buy say that you'll bring me along
To the world you see
(To the world you see)
To the world I close my eyes to see
I close my eyes to see
Ili-ili tulog anay,
Wala diri imong nanay
Ahhhh Ahhhh
Ili-ili tulog anay,
Wala diri imong nanay
Ahhhh Ahhhh
Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me
A million dreams, a million dreams
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it′s gonna take
A milliom dreams for the world we're gonna make
For the world we′re gonna make.
The lyrics of "A Million Dreams" by Kim Bo express an adventurous desire to escape reality and create a world of one's own imagination. The singer is encouraged by someone else, maybe a lover or family member, to join them on an adventure to explore and design a world that is different from reality. The song provides a sense of hope and empowerment to see beyond the current state of affairs in the world and imagine something magical, with vibrant colors and a limitless horizon.
The singer writes with positivity and defiance, rejecting the criticism of others who might label them as "crazy" for their dreams. The dreams are one's own responsibility and can be used to create a better world. Through the use of anaphora, a literary device that repeats the same word or phrase at the beginning of consecutive clauses, the singer asserts the power of their dreams by saying "a million dreams" twice in the chorus.
The song's theme emphasizes the power of the imagination and the importance of dreaming. It encourages listeners to dream of a hopeful future that they can create with perseverance and determination. The reference to the Filipino lullaby, "Ili-ili Tulog Anay," in the final chorus further emphasizes the underlying themes of the song, as a lullaby is a means of escape for babies and children, and the song's protagonist seeks to escape into a fantasy world of their own making.

Verse 1: Ziv Zaifman]
I close my eyes and I can see
The world that's waiting up for me
That I call my own
Through the dark, through the door
Through where no one's been before
But it feels like home
[Pre-Chorus: Ziv Zaifman]
They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say I've lost my mind
I don't care, I don't care, so call me crazy
We can live in a world that we design
[Chorus: Ziv Zaifman]
'Cause every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make
[Verse 2: Ziv Zaifman]
There's a house we can build
Every room inside is filled
With things from far away
The special things I compile
Each one there to make you smile
On a rainy day
[Pre-Chorus: Ziv Zaifman]
They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say we've lost our minds
I don't care, I don't care if they call us crazy
Runaway to a world that we design
[Chorus: Hugh Jackman]
Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make
[Bridge: Michelle Williams, with Hugh Jackman]
However big, however small
Let me be part of it all
Share your dreams with me
You may be right, you may be wrong
But say that you'll bring me along
To the world you see
To the world I close my eyes to see
I close my eyes to see
[Chorus: Hugh Jackman, Michelle Williams, together]
Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
A million dreams, a million dreams
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make

Update: I gave the sheet music to my mother, who played this song for the first dance at my wedding reception. A large portion of my family started singing along. Not a dry eye in the place.
