A Million Dreams
Maddie Wilson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

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

'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

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

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say we've lost our minds
Well, I don't care, I don't care, if they call us crazy
Run away to 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

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

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





For the world we're gonna make

By the end of the song, the dreamer invites others to share their dreams with them and "let me be part of it all." The final chorus reiterates that the dreamer's vision will be made into a reality, "a million dreams for the world we're gonna make."

Line by Line Meaning

I close my eyes and I can see
I envision a world in my mind


The world that's waiting up for me
A world of my own imagination


That I call my own
A world that belongs to me


Through the dark, through the door
Through the unknown journey


Through where no one's been before
To a place that hasn't been explored before


But it feels like home
A sense of belongingness to where I belong


They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
Others may think it's foolish and unrealistic


They can say, they can say I've lost my mind
People may think I'm insane


I don't care, I don't care, so call me crazy
I do not care what others think or say, I am going to follow my dreams


We can live in a world that we design
We can create a world of our own making


'Cause every night, I lie in bed
During bedtime, I dream of wondrous things


The brightest colours fill my head
My imagination brims with vibrant colours


A million dreams are keeping me awake
My aspirations are so grand that I can't sleep


I think of what the world could be
I think of the possibilities for the world


A vision of the one I see
The world that I envision in my mind


A million dreams is all it's gonna take
I only need a million dreams to bring reality to my world


A million dreams for the world we're gonna make
My dreams will transform the world we live in


There's a house we can build
A metaphorical house that we can create


Every room inside is filled with things from far away
The house is filled with imaginative and unique creations


The special things I compile
The things that I make special


Each one there to make you smile on a rainy day
Each creation has the potential to bring joy on a gloomy day


Well, I don't care, I don't care, if they call us crazy
I do not care if anyone thinks that our ideas and dreams are absurd


Run away to a world that we design
We have the liberty to escape to a world that we have created


However big, however small
Whether one's dreams are massive or tiny


Let me be part of it all
Let me be a part of your dreams


Share your dreams with me
Tell me about your aspirations


You may be right, you may be wrong
The ideas and dreams might be spot on or incorrect


But say that you'll bring me along to the world you see
Take me with you to the world you dream of


To the world I close my eyes to see
To the world that I picture in my mind


Every night, I lie in bed
Every single night, I dream and imagine


A million dreams are keeping me awake
I'm kept awake due to the sheer magnitude of my dreams


For the world we're gonna make
Our dreams will be translated into the world we create
