The Dream
sense and sensibility Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm moving mountains
With my eyes closed
And both hands tied behind my back
Well if anything you're everything I want to be
Things that people only dream
Well if anything your everything that I am
I've got these dreams...
I can fly
With my eyes closed
Both hands tied
I can fly and I,
Lord I can fly and I will
If anything you're everything I want to be
Things that people only dream
And if anything your everything that I am
I've got these dreams ...
Yes, I've got these dreams and you're in them all...
Singing the things that people are only dreaming about
Life and love...

Pressure's mounting
The stress is increasing
I'm moving mountains
I'm achieving great things
With my eyes closed
Despite a lack of clarity
And both hands tied behind my back
With significant limitations
Well if anything you're everything I want to be
You embody my ideal self
Things that people only dream
Unreachable aspirations
Well if anything your everything that I am
You represent my current achievements
I've got these dreams...
I hold onto these aspirations
Stakes are high
The risks are significant
I can fly
I can achieve anything
And I, Lord I can fly and I will
I have the determination to succeed
Yes, I've got these dreams and you're in them all...
You are a part of my aspirations
Singing the things that people are only dreaming about
Celebrating my achievements
Life and love...
The core aspects of joy and fulfillment
