Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There is a world where hopes and dreams
Can last for all time,
A wondrous place to go,
You'll know it when your heart finds
Hearing our song as old as rhyme,
Hold my hand we're gonna fly
What a magic ride
And just kiss away

If you can dream,
The wish we're making on a star
Is coming true
The colors of the wind will lead
My heart right back to you
Cause if you can dream,
Reflections in a diamond sky
Come shining on through
Romance will always be so new
And love will save the day,
If you can dream

Someday my prince will come,
Its certain as the sun rise
One day the slipper fits,
And you see the love in his eyes
Its a tale as old as time,
There's no mountain we can't climb
When your finally mine,
And just a kiss away

If you can dream,
The wish we're making on a star
Is coming true
The colors of the wind will lead
My heart right back to you
Cause if you can dream,
Reflections in a diamond sky
Come shining on through
Romance will always be so new
And love will save the day,
If you can dream

So the story goes
Never die a rose
There's a whole new world,
Waiting there for us
Waiting just for us!

If you can dream
The wish we're making on a star
Is coming true
The colors of the wind will lead
My heart right back to you
Cause if you can dream,
Reflections in a diamond sky
Come shining all through
Romance will always be so new
And love will save the day, oh,
And love will save the day
If you can dream
