Song Description

Two contrasting moods prevail throughout the song. The first is contained in the verses(in a minor key) which describe the different things we perceive in dreams, culled from our daily life experiences. The choruses (in the tonic major key,very lyrical and not as edgy as the verses)state that we don't know what dreams are, but that our imaginations can take us wherever we would like to go. The second chorus ends with the wish that "our hopeful dreams will all come true".

Lyrics

Every day of our lives,
Wild pictures fill up our minds,
Theyr'e everywhere that we look,
Up, down, ahead and behind,
Those pictures turn up again
And as we sleep we see our lives before our eyes.

But really nobody knows what lies ahead in his life,
It can be love, can be joy,
It can be pain, can be strife.
And still the dream comes along,
And it reveals to us life's secrets and much more.

CHORUS
Oh, dreams! We really don't know what they are,
Oh, dreams! You take us near, you take us far.
My dreams will drive me on beyond despair,
Let's dream, come on let's dream till we are there.

If the dream is okay,
We can get on with our lives,
It offers care, offers hope
For what seems good in our eyes,
And we are happy to dream,
For dreams will help us
try to overcome our fears.
But when we turn to the left, or when we turn to the right,
The hopeful dream that we dreamed
May disappear from our sight,
And then the only thing left
Is to remove the pain
And try to sleep again....

CHORUS
And dream! Let's dream again till we are sure,
That dream, that hopeful dream we had before.
Today our dreams will surely take us through,
Tonight our hopeful dreams will all come true.
