In My Dreams
Linda Perry Lyrics

In my daydreams everything's worthwhile
In my fantasies, everything I do has a positive outcome and is worth doing.

In my daydreams I ran a thousand miles
In my imagination, I have the motivation and energy to accomplish even the most grueling tasks.

And everybody worshiped me
In my dreams, I am the center of attention and receive admiration and praise from those around me.

Hate meant just to smile
In the world of my imagination, even negativity is tempered by positivity and expressed through an act of kindness or understanding.

And the pain never bothered me
In my daydreams, I am free from the emotional and physical pain that can impact our lives in reality.

I want everything
I have a deep desire to achieve success and gain everything I wish for in life.

Everything I want
I am determined to attain all the things that I desire, regardless of how lofty or difficult they may appear.

There's no room to turn me upside down
I am focused on my goals and have a strong sense of self, which means no one can dampen my spirits or derail my ambitions.

I built my own empire
In my imagination, I have achieved greatness and built something that is uniquely mine, whether it be a business, a legacy, or a personal brand.

With no color and no creed
My achievements and aspirations exist beyond any identity markers or societal labels, and they are fully inclusive and open to all.

I'm like a bird in flight
In my dreams, I have the freedom and ease of movement that comes with being a bird, able to soar and glide effortlessly through the air.

I'm I getting much too deep?
I may be delving into my desires and imagination in a way that feels overly intense or serious, but it is important for me to explore my ambitions and hopes.

Yeah, yeah

Yeah yeah yeah, ohh...
