I Have A Dream
St. Christopher's Gregorian Choir Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So what's goin' on there?
I'm here and you still there
It seems like a thousand miles
But one dream can pass that
Where is the stairways to heaven?
I've never found them
Mmmm
So what's goin' on there?

I'm here and u still there
It seems like a thousand miles
But one dream can pass that
So what's goin' on there?
I'm here and u still there
It seems like a thousand miles
But one dream can pass that
So I continue let my soul speak
It hit me like a magic trick
Like a slap to my soul's cheek
Like something I can't pick
What are the limits to this f**kin' game?
Can someone tell me will I pass them?
I guess no ones ever tell me
Tell me, tell me
(You're so far away, far away, far away
You're so far away, far away, far away)
So what's goin' on there?
I'm here and you still there
It seems like a thousand miles
But one dream can pass that
So what's goin' on there?
I'm here and you still there
It seems like a thousand miles

But one dream can pass that
One dream can pass that, one dream can pass that
