Dreams
Simon Lyrics

He said I got here On $ three and a dream
He arrived with little money and big aspirations

Put his guitar in his car And his future he could see
He loaded his guitar and envisioned his future

I know it's not much But it's all I'll ever need Just the good Lord with me And this box with a couple strings
He didn't have much, but he had his faith and his music

He said I just gotta get out Away from these small minds Somewhere a little farther south Where they'll accept me And my kind
He felt limited by his hometown and wanted to move somewhere more open-minded

So I've been praying Every night when I can't sleep That the Lord will save me From my doubts that run so deep
He struggled with self-doubt and turned to prayer for comfort and guidance

Guitars don't pay the bills But what if they do Don't waste your time chasin What'll never chase you
He acknowledged the challenges of pursuing music as a career but refused to give up on his dreams

Ill find me a girl who believes in the music Shell say Hand in hand no way We can lose this
He hoped to find a partner who shared his passion for music and would support him

Dropped out of school He started working himself away 80 hour work weeks He would fight his doubts all day
He made sacrifices and worked hard to support his pursuit of music

Took a trip up north Hoping for a change of pace But he thought he'd never Find home in that place
He tried to find a new environment but struggled to feel at home

But he keeps dreaming keeps living to the beat He's singing "I can't get this dreaming off of me"
Despite setbacks, he refused to give up on his dreams and remained passionate about music

Now he keeps writing every thought that's in his head If he quits dreaming then his soul will wind up dead
He continued to write music and knew that giving up on his dreams would be a spiritual death

Moving on up He met the girl of his dreams She made him smile Wrote more happy Melodys
He found love and it inspired him to create more upbeat music

Lifted by her love And his friends that cared the most By Gods grace Hes living out the life he chose
Love and supportive friends helped him succeed in the life he wanted

And he's been prayin Every night before he sleeps Thank you Lord, you gave me The life of my dreams
He remained grateful for the life he had and continued to turn to prayer for guidance and gratitude

Finally found me a girl who believes in the music She says Hand in hand no way We can lose this
His partner shared his passion for music and continued to support his dreams

She says Hand in hand no way We can lose this
She believed in their ability to succeed together
