Dream
Lenny Kravitz Lyrics

You can take away my freedom
Even if you try to limit my liberty, I will still have an inner sense of liberty.

But my spirit will run free
You cannot harness or repress my spirit, it will always find a way to express itself.

You can take away my vision
If you remove my ability to see, it doesn't mean that I won't have other ways of perceiving what's around me.

That don't mean that I can't see
I can still 'see' things clearly through my inner vision and intuition even if my physical eyesight is impaired.

Well all I have to say
This is my response to your attempts to control or intimidate me.

Is it doesn't work that way
Your tactics won't be effective because my spirit is stronger.

What lives inside of me
My inner essence, my true self that cannot be confined or threatened.

Will find its way to be
It will always seek expression or manifestation, even if you try to suppress it.

It all starts with a dream
Everything begins with a vision, an aspiration, a goal, an idea, a hope.

The dawn of a new day
The beginning of a fresh opportunity, another chance to pursue one's dream.

The God inside of you
The divine spark, the creative potential, the higher self that resides in every human being.

Will always see you through
This inner force will guide, protect, and help you overcome any obstacle, setback, or challenge.

So hold on to your dream
Don't let go of your passion, your purpose, your reason for being, despite the difficulties or setbacks.

No one can take the dream
Your dream is yours alone, it cannot be stolen or destroyed by anyone else.

From your heart
Your dream is rooted in your deepest feelings, your authentic self, your innermost being.

You can try to shake my reason
You may attempt to challenge my logic, my beliefs, my convictions, but you won't succeed in bringing me down.

But you'll never take me down
You cannot defeat or conquer me, no matter what you say, do, or plot.

You can fill me full of bullets
Even if you attack me violently, you won't be able to destroy my inner core or my spirit.

But I'm built on solid ground
I have a solid foundation of values, principles, and beliefs that cannot be easily shaken or destroyed.

Amen
This is an expression of affirmation, agreement, and hope that underlines the message of the song.

You will never take my passion
My enthusiasm, my zeal, my energy, my drive will always be present, even if you try to extinguish it.

'Cause it always will remain
My passion is a fundamental part of who I am, it cannot be erased or eliminated.

Even if I lose this battle, oh yeah
Even if I don't achieve my immediate goal or objective, I won't lose the bigger war or struggle.

It's just blood inside my veins
My life force, my vitality, my energy are part of my physical and spiritual makeup, they cannot be destroyed.

That's all that I will say
I don't need to say more, my actions and my spirit will speak louder than my words.

You can't steal from me
You can't take away anything that is intrinsically mine, whether it's my talent, my passion, my dream or my soul.

What God gave me for free
The gifts, the talents, the qualities that I possess are not due to my own merit, but to a higher power that endowed me with them.
