A Million Dreams
The Greatest Showman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The world that′s waiting up for me
That I call my own
Through the dark, through the door
Through where no one's been before
But it feels like home
They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
I don't care, I don't care, so call me crazy
We can live in a world that we design
′Cause every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it′s gonna take
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make
There′s a house we can build
Every room inside is filled
With things from far away
The special things I compile
Each one there to make you smile
On a rainy day
They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say we've lost our minds
I don′t care, I don't care if they call us crazy
Run away to a world that we design
Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it′s gonna take
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make
However big, however small
Let me be part of it all
Share your dreams with me
You may be right, you may be wrong
But say that you'll bring me along
To the world you see
To the world I close my eyes to see
I close my eyes to see
Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
A million dreams, a million dreams
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it′s gonna take
A million dreams for the world we′re gonna make
For the world we're gonna make
The lyrics of "A Million Dreams" from The Greatest Showman encapsulate the power of imagination and the relentless pursuit of one's dreams. The song reflects the singer's unwavering belief in his own vision of a world that awaits him. By closing his eyes, he is able to envision a future filled with endless possibilities and the sense of belonging.
The first verse sets the tone, as the singer describes his personal world beyond what others have experienced. It may seem unfamiliar and even unconventional to outsiders, but to him, it feels like home. Despite the potential ridicule or doubt he may face, he remains steadfast in his conviction, not caring about being labeled crazy. He aspires to live in a world that he and others can design according to their desires and dreams.
The chorus emphasizes the vividness of his dreams, which transcend the boundaries of reality. Each night as he lies in bed, his mind fills with vibrant and captivating visuals, symbolized by the brightest colors. These dreams become the driving force that keeps him awake, providing hope and motivation to pursue a better world. He believes that just a million dreams are enough to bring about the change and transformation needed to make this world a reality.
The second verse introduces the concept of constructing a house filled with unique and extraordinary items from far-off places. These special objects are lovingly collected to bring joy and comfort, particularly on rainy days when such treasures provide solace. Just as his dreams are perceived as crazy, the singer understands that others may dismiss their aspirations as well. Nonetheless, he remains undeterred, valuing the opportunity to escape with someone to the world they create together.
In the bridge, the singer invites others to share their dreams and experiences, acknowledging that they may have differing perspectives. He desires to be part of and contribute to all aspects of their journey. Despite the potential for disagreement or uncertainty, he asks that they include him and allow him to join them in their world. He longs to glimpse the world they envision, the world that he, too, can see when he closes his eyes.
The song culminates with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the overwhelming power of a million dreams. Each person's individual dreams collectively possess the potential to shape the world and bring about positive change. The lyrics inspire a sense of unity and encouragement, empowering everyone to come together and create the world they aspire to make -- a world that is built on their collective dreams and aspirations.

I close my eyes and I can see
I can visualize and imagine
The world that's waiting up for me
The possibilities and opportunities that lie ahead
That I call my own
That I can claim as my own
Through the dark, through the door
Despite uncertainty and challenges
Through where no one's been before
Through unexplored territory
But it feels like home
But it feels familiar and comforting
They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
Others may criticize and doubt
They can say, they can say I've lost my mind
They may think I'm irrational or insane
I don't care, I don't care, so call me crazy
I disregard their opinions and embrace my uniqueness
We can live in a world that we design
We have the power to create our own reality
′Cause every night I lie in bed
During quiet moments of reflection
The brightest colors fill my head
Vivid and vibrant ideas and dreams occupy my thoughts
A million dreams are keeping me awake
Countless aspirations and ambitions keep me excited and motivated
I think of what the world could be
I contemplate the potential and possibilities for the world
A vision of the one I see
An imagined future that aligns with my vision
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
With enough determination and dreams, anything is possible
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make
Collectively, our dreams can shape the future
There's a house we can build
We can construct a place of belonging
Every room inside is filled
Every part is enriched
With things from far away
Including diverse and exotic elements
The special things I compile
The unique and precious things I gather
Each one there to make you smile
Each one meant to bring joy and happiness
On a rainy day
During difficult times or moments of sadness
However big, however small
No matter the scale or magnitude
Let me be part of it all
Allow me to be involved in every aspect
Share your dreams with me
Reveal your aspirations and desires to me
You may be right, you may be wrong
Your perspective could be correct or incorrect
But say that you'll bring me along
But promise to include me in your journey
To the world you see
To the reality and vision you have
To the world I close my eyes to see
To the world I envision when I close my eyes
Every night I lie in bed
During moments of deep contemplation
The brightest colors fill my head
My mind is flooded with vibrant and vivid thoughts
A million dreams are keeping me awake
Countless dreams fuel my excitement and prevent sleep
A million dreams, a million dreams
Countless aspirations and hopes
I think of what the world could be
I ponder the potential and possibilities of the world
A vision of the one I see
An imagined future that aligns with my vision
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
With enough determination and dreams, anything is possible
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make
Collectively, our dreams can shape the future
For the world we're gonna make
For the future we are going to create

@gameguy9905
I honestly love how the song starts out with a kid singing about his dreams and wishes, and then it transcends to an adult singing, perhaps that same kid but grown up, still having the same dreams as he did before. This signifies the message which is never lose sight or let go of your dreams
@Footballfan896
Game Guy At least in the movie, the kid singing this song is the adult who is singing this as well.
@amcr2278
Watch it
@kiara8121
It’s the story of that boy and girl growing up actually! It’s really adorable you should watch the musical
@TheRealMischief
It is the same kid have you not seen greatest showman
