To The Dreamers
for King Country Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you feel it
Once you see it, and you breathe it
It′s unforgettable
When you know it, once you know it
And you hold it
It's unforgettable

We′re beat up but won't be broken
Lonesome but always searching
Homesick but nobody's heading home soon
Keep on, keeping on, keeping on

Long days and too many short nights
And wrong ways that almost felt right
Lovesick but no one you′re holding on to

So keep on, keeping on, keeping on
And sing along, sing along, sing along yeah

To the dreamers
Wide-eyed believers
Hanging onto hope by a thread
To the soulful
Heart open hopeful
Keep on charging ahead

′Cause, when you feel it
Once you see it, and you breathe it
It's unforgettable
When you know it, once you know it
And you hold it
It′s unforgettable

God knows you question your courage
And some days I can't walk for stumbling
If we could only see what we′re becoming

So keep on, keeping on, keeping on
And sing along, sing along, sing along, yeah

To the dreamers
Wide-eyed believers
Hanging onto hope by a thread
To the soulful
Heart open hopeful
Keep on charging ahead

'Cause, when you feel it
Once you see it, and you breathe it
It′s unforgettable
When you know it, once you know it
And you hold it
It's unforgettable

When you feel it
Once you see it, and you breathe it
It's unforgettable
When you know it, once you know it
And you hold it
It′s unforgettable

I was wondering and I was wandering
So down and out, I was lost not found
History said, oh someone said, that you could never exist
But then a whisper, the start of a kiss
Came to me, all of a sudden like a dream, a fantasy
That day didn′t feel quite real
You took a half dead soul, and You made me believe
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe

To the dreamers
Wide-eyed believers
Hanging onto hope by a thread
To the soulful
Heart open hopeful
Keep on charging ahead

'Cause, when you feel it
Once you see it, and you breathe it
It′s unforgettable
When you know it, once you know it
And you hold it
It's unforgettable

When you feel it
Once you see it, and you breathe it
It′s unforgettable
When you know it, once you know it




And you hold it
It's unforgettable

I am TRYING to tell my friends about them but they just won't listen and all i'm saying to them is, you're missing out. SO MUCH. and they are! These guys are the best singers in HISTORY. Praise our Lord and King Jesus Christ Son of God! If anyone tells you to deny your faith, DON'T! Stand firm in your faith and Trust in Him in anything you do. and, if anyone out there is feeling alone, we can understand because, we all have felt alone in life and we can make it through! YOU CAN MAKE IT THROUGH! Just believe in God. Faith is all you need. Jesus is all you need. GOD IS ALL WE NEED!
