Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sunrise dancing with the morning
In your eyes, I swear I saw it
I woke up in the world I wanted
I woke up in the world you gave me
New horizon in the making
Wish I could bottle up and save this moment
It used to be a dream, but now it's you and me
It used to be a dream, but now it's you and me
I woke up in the world I wanted
Better than I ever saw it
All the dreams, the life, the hope you brought in
I woke up in the world I wanted
It used to be a dream, but now it's you and me
It used to be a dream, but now it's you and me
I woke up in the world I wanted
And I realized all of a sudden
This used to be a dream, but now it's you and me
It used to be a dream, but now it's you and me
