The Dream
P.J. Olsson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I found you I found my pot of gold
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
Watch you move from across the floor
Walk through my soul 'cause it's an open door
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
Don't you know that you're like pictures in the wind
They keep flying by and look and me
I'm grabbing
If you close your eyes you can have all you see
If you just hold on to the dream
In fields I'd cry while the curtains blow
What the window sees only the window knows
Gotta look inside
Gotta look inside
Gotta look inside
Scream your fears while the sky grows cold
The seasons come and the seasons go
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
Oh, it'll be alright
Don't you know that you are everywhere I go
We can climb the stairs together
Together we'll get there I know
If there ever was a time
If you ever wondered why
We can hold the dream
And hold the dream
And hold the dream
We can kiss the sky
Don't you see what we got is strong
A life, the love comes to push and shove
To make the sun shine
Make the sun shine
Sing a song with me
Na na na na na na na na...
Close your eyes, you can have all you see
If you just hold on to the dream
If you close your eyes you can have all you see
If you just hold on to the dream

What I've learned now as I've grown old
After gaining life experience, I have acquired wisdom
When I found you I found my pot of gold
Discovering you brought me immense happiness and fulfillment
Watch you move from across the floor
Observing your graceful movements from a distance
Walk through my soul 'cause it's an open door
Having deep connection with you because my soul is vulnerable to you
Don't you know that you're like pictures in the wind
Realizing that you are fleeting and elusive, like passing images in the wind
They keep flying by and look and me
Continuously passing by and catching my attention
I'm grabbing
I am trying to seize and hold onto them
If you close your eyes you can have all you see
By closing your eyes, you can imagine and possess everything you desire
If you just hold on to the dream
By persevering and clinging to your aspirations
In fields I'd cry while the curtains blow
I would sob in open fields while the curtains flutter
What the window sees only the window knows
The window is the sole witness to what unfolds outside
Gotta look inside
I need to reflect on myself and delve inward
Scream your fears while the sky grows cold
Express your fears aloud as the atmosphere turns frigid
The seasons come and the seasons go
The passage of time brings changing seasons
Don't you know that you are everywhere I go
Understanding that your presence is constant wherever I am
We can climb the stairs together
We can face challenges and progress together
Together we'll get there I know
I firmly believe that we will reach our destination together
If there ever was a time
If there was ever a moment
If you ever wondered why
If you ever questioned the reason
We can hold the dream
We can embrace our aspirations
And hold the dream
And retain our ambitions
And hold the dream
And persevere with our hopes
We can kiss the sky
We can achieve greatness and reach new heights
Don't you see what we got is strong
Recognizing the strength of our bond and connection
A life, the love comes to push and shove
The challenges and conflicts of life and love arise
To make the sun shine
To bring brightness and happiness into our lives
Sing a song with me
Join me in singing a melody
Na na na na na na na na...
Melodic sounds without specific meaning
Close your eyes, you can have all you see
By shutting your eyes, you can possess everything you envision
Sing a song with me
Join me in singing a melody
Na na na na na na na na...
Melodic sounds without specific meaning
If you just hold on to the dream
By persevering and clinging to your aspirations
