Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

God brought me presents but I'm 'gonna have to pay for them
I got no money, wonder if I could pay for
Pay for them in sin
So I dream on
Yeah, I dream on

I stood for solace in my dream but they're of little consolation
No comfort for my soul

So I dream on
Yeah, I dream on

Man, I've been cashing in by the graceful man
Do what I want, do as I please then get in trouble well I still can
Well, I hope it's not too late for a second chance
See, I've been scrubbing, 'tryna wash up all the blood from my hands

So I dream on
Yeah, I dream on
Yeah, I dream on

Yeah, I dream
On
