You Know You've Got to Have a Dream

Story Behind The Song

From an inspirational period of many strongly structured hits with vivid imagery and powerful, encouraging themes. Pop/standards, classics, Broadway, children's, new age healing a first love, and some country to ease into the market back in the day... all highly awarded in international song festivals, as is Lay Me Down with a long list of credits. Also, 10-page spec script and all music from Black & Bluzae as noted @ Broadjam profile. Most of my lyric submissions to this op have music but I am open to finally getting myself in the market somehow, and using the tunes with new lyrics en future. If you are looking for inspiration, I have glorious material in all states of completion, a lifetime of music, lyric, and state-of-the-art StarKid projects to develop and present live or via web in a new type of presentation. Otherwise, I'm ideally given inspiring musical tracks, the music simply delivering it's lyrics to me in the overtones. And, I'm able to create poetic, colorful, well-crafted lyrics, as well. This was a difficult call not knowing exactly what is needed. A theme, scene, characters... would have been helpful to write brand new lyrics. Suffice these submissions as examples and/or lyric submissions if anyone even looks at this... Hello, hello?

~ a powerful Streisand-Bocelli-Groban-type song ~

[uploaded Mom's hit song re: couldn't figure out how to submit lyrics only again!]

A:
You Know You've Got to Have a Dream
If you want to have a dream come true
It's not as wild as it may seem
When heaven's distant drummer's calling you

You'll find your wish unfolding in the Light
When your dream takes flight

[music inclines/heightens/opens to rpt]

A:
You Know You've Got to Have a Dream
If you want to have a dream come true
It's not as wild as it may seem
When heaven's distant drummer's calling you

Hold on to precious visions in your sight
When you have a dream
Dreams come true

[music resolves to B]

B:
Where would we be
Without the dreamers of the world
And the magic men... seeing us through

[gender here may be an issue - guiding works]

Where would we be
Without the street - light - vi - sion - ar - ies.... [BG: ahhhh 1 meas. inst. 7s, 9s,13s]
Lighting our view... [BG: ooo 6 meas. inst. ush new-agey type chords]

A:
You Know You've Got to Have a Dream
If you want to have a dream come true
It's not as wild as it may seem
When heaven's distant drummer's calling you

Stand strong, empow'r your dream to reach its height
When you share a dream
Dreams come true

B: Optional B and A finale en repeat or new [a long dreamy new agey inst. also works between this finale]

Where would we be
Without the dreamers of the world
And the magic men... seeing us through
Where would we be
Without the street - light vi - sion - ar - ies... [BG: ahhhh 1 or more meas on 2nd round]
Lighting our view... [BG: ooo 8 meas or more opt - more lush floaty chords into climax]

A:
You Know You've Got to Have a Dream
If you want to have a dream come true
It's not as wild as it may seem
When heaven's distant drummer's calling you

A world transforming dream could soon ignite
When you share your dream
Dreams come true
