A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes
Kimberley Locke Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you 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, yeah
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, ooh, yeah

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams will you lose 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 your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing




The dream that you wish will come true
Ooh, yeah, come true

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kimberley Locke's song A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes are all about the power of belief and the importance of holding onto your dreams, even when things seem difficult or impossible. The song speaks to the idea that when we dream, we tap into something within ourselves that is beyond the limits of our waking lives. Dreams allow us to imagine a better future, to see beyond our current circumstances, and to believe that anything is truly possible.


The song starts off by describing how dreams allow us to "lose our heartaches," suggesting that dreaming is a way to escape the pain and struggles of everyday life. The next verse talks about having faith and believing in your dreams, even when things seem tough. The lyrics encourage the listener to keep believing, because someday their "rainbow will come smiling through." In other words, if you remain dedicated and keep working towards your dreams, you will eventually see the fruits of your labor.


The middle verse of the song speaks to the loneliness that can sometimes come with dreaming. It suggests that dreams often arise when we are feeling small and alone, and that we may feel like no one else can hear us when we whisper our dreams into the night. However, the lyrics remind us that no matter how lonely our journey may seem, we must never lose hope. The final verse brings things full circle, reminding us that even though our dreams may seem far away, we must never give up on them. If we keep on believing and stay true to what's in our heart, the dream we wish for will eventually come true.

Oh, man, this song is definitely A Wish That My Heart Made for me. I used to own this CD in high school, and I remember putting this song on repeat before I would fall asleep to it. God, do I want to go back in time to 2005 now. : /
