Dreamer
Steve Wiggins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Sometimes you're gonna hurt inside
Someday you'll be all alone
All by yourself in a crowded room
When you crave a savior
You can depend upon
You will find salvation
Like the morning finds the dawn
Wake up dreamer, your dream awaits
It won't be long til the morning breaks
Glide through the dew, go running from the shadows
Wake up dreamer, your dream awaits
Alas, my love!
There are some things you just can't rise above
If you could see yourself, yeah
You'd understand how much you need some help
When you crave a savior
You can depend upon
You will find salvation
Like the morning finds the dawn
Why live with a dark cloud over your head
When you could have love-light shining instead
Love-light
will guide you, hope will sustain
Wake up dreamer, your dream awaits
Steve Wiggins's song "Dreamer" talks about the highs and lows of life, and how we can all make it through the rough times. The lyrics allude to the fact that everyone experiences pain and loneliness but also that salvation is just around the corner. The opening lines suggest that sometimes we will cry and hurt inside, while other times we will find ourselves all alone in a crowded room. However, the song reassures us that we will always find something to depend on in times of need. The lyrics suggest that like the morning inevitably brings dawn, we will find salvation when we look for it.
The chorus of the song brings forth the idea of dreaming - that sometimes we need a dream to hold onto to help us through difficult times. Waking up to pursue that dream is an important step to take. Love and hope are also significant themes within the lyrics. The song emphasizes that we should embrace the love that surrounds us and let it guide us through difficult times. It also implies that hope is something that can sustain us through dark times.
