A Million Dreams
Pink Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I close my eyes and I can see
A 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, if they 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
Oh, 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
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
See, 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
Oh, 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
We may be right, we may be wrong
But I wanna bring you along to the world I see
To the world we close our eyes to see
We close our 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

Line by Line Meaning

I close my eyes and I can see
With eyes shut, I can visualize


A world that's waiting up for me that I call my own
A personal world waiting for me


Through the dark, through the door
Navigating through difficulties


Through where no one's been before
Going beyond commonplace boundaries


But it feels like home
Comfortable and familiar


They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
Doubters might dismiss it as insane


They can say, they can say I've lost my mind
Criticizers may call me irrational


I don't care, I don't care, if they call me crazy
I won't let their opinion bother me


We can live in a world that we design
Creating our own world is possible


'Cause every night, I lie in bed
Every night I imagine


The brightest colors fill my head
Vivid colors are visualized


A million dreams are keeping me awake
Many ideas keep me inspired


I think of what the world could be
Imagine the world's potential


A vision of the one I see
Visualizing my dream world


A million dreams is all it's gonna take
Many ideas can shape a better world


Oh, a million dreams for the world we're gonna make
Many ideas can help create a better world


There's a house we can build
A metaphor for a better world


Every room inside is filled with things from far away
Different ideas come together


Special things I compile
Unique and valuable ideas I gather


Each one there to make you smile on a rainy day
Ideas to offer hope in tough times


See, I don't care, I don't care if they call us crazy
Don't let others stop me from dreaming


Run away to a world that we design
Creating our own world is liberating


However big, however small
No matter the scale


Let me be part of it all
I want to contribute


Share your dreams with me
Let's exchange ideas


We may be right, we may be wrong
Our ideas could be challenged


But I wanna bring you along to the world I see
I want to share my vision


To the world we close our eyes to see
A vision that only exists in our imagination


Every night, I lie in bed
Every night I dream


A million dreams are keeping me awake
Many ideas fuel my imagination


A million dreams for the world we're gonna make
Many dreams to shape a better world


For the world we're gonna make
The world we can create

I close my eyes and I can see
A 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, if they 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

A million dreams is all it's gonna take
Oh, a million dreams for the world we're gonna make

However big, however small

Share your dreams with me
We may be right, we may be wrong
But I wanna bring you along to the world I see
To the world we close our eyes to see
We close our 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

My dad's favourite song. Passed away 14 weeks ago Breaks me every time I hear it. Such a beautiful song. God bless dad xxxx

@jaidentslgl2753

Sad, and god bless you. On Hebrews 13:25 (NLT), it says, May God’s grace be with you all.
(BTW), the bible is labeled for reuse so please no accusing me of plagiarising this scripture!

@dewivangreuningen5494

RIP for your dad. May you and your family have the strength and patient to face this tragedy. Gbu

Pink‘s voice is so fitting for that track and also the lyrics are screaming for her

You. You

@crissamarie92

This song makes me cry so much. When pink sings it, I feel like I'm putting myself on that position and singing this song to my fiance. The original song will be our wedding song :) this song has a lot of meaning to me.

@vanessastegall

Crimson Rose, congrats on your upcoming wedding!
