Story behind the song
I had an idea for a new project, and the title "Dreams Can Take You Everywhere" was the basically the only idea I had. I started with the chorus, and the verses just came off the back of that. They'll be expounded further with forthcoming tracks.
Lyrics
Nobody's noticed me, I'm not the type to cause a big scene
Staying in my own world, that I saw in the dreams
That I'd have when I walked through the fields on Hope mountain
The view of wind blowin' through long grass was astounding
I'd spend these times letting my thoughts drift away
Over that grass, over the edge of the cliffs, slip away
Was always told that dreaming gets you nowhere
I don't care, I live in a dream, and you won't go there
A shrill in the screams, and my heart's in my mouth
In a line, in a crowd and my mind starts to shout
I'm just finding it out for myself what they told me
That dreams don't pay the bills, I'm living lonely
And coldly, no one would know about my poems
But they didn't cost a thing and they found me a home
I was the only one who believed I had talent
That I buried in a field, so nobody else could have it, (except a rabbit)
Dreams can take you everywhere...
If not tomorrow or today then I'll still follow
Paths that the Lord's laid (it's His way so)
Dreams can take you everywhere...
I know they told me that they couldn't but I wouldn't listen
Running down the hallway (and out the door)
Don't tell me not to dream, the only way to escape
From my life, whatever's right, these places I stay
Are laying me to waste, my soul's suffocating
While time's rushing by, life has no trouble waiting
They won't open the gates, they won't let me proceed
What is it that you want, or expect me to be?
In the house where the children of Passion and Patience
Reside, since their dreams have died, have been waiting
Inside, but I'm trying to escape, grapple and grasp
Past those who are lying in wait, Passion laughs
While Patience just sits agitated amidst
All the violence, with Passion dying, shaking his fist
Dreams can take you everywhere...
If not tomorrow or today then I'll still follow
Paths that the Lord's laid (it's His way so)
Dreams can take you everywhere...
I know they told me that they couldn't but I wouldn't listen
Running down the hallway (and out the door)
Sometimes it seems, like I'm the only one who dreams
My existence's resists imminent reality
But I'll fight for this plight, won't let go of the dream
Til at last it succumbs like the snow on the stream
Grounded in delusion of a winter's breath
Is it a dream or preluded down to a hidden depth?
I'm asleep, I'm awake, with a reason to place
All my hopes on the dreams that I see in this state
But I'm told not to follow my dreams, and I'm told
Not to swallow these hopes as I read, cos I'm sold
On the life and the times of the past great figures
Now the dark age's rid us with the last pages hidden
Dreams can take you everywhere...
If not tomorrow or today then I'll still follow
Paths that the Lord's laid (it's His way so)
Dreams can take you everywhere...
I know they told me that they couldn't but I wouldn't listen
Running down the hallway (and out the door)
Drawing in the landscape to view the bigger picture
Sorry to let you down after I said I was coming with ya
The truth of the matter is I'm couped in your arms
And you never could say that you knew me, it's hard-er
Than previously thought
To follow in your dreams, and all the things I believed in I sought
My preaching's ignored, my view's dismissed
As the whims of a dreamer, secluded in this though
It's not my fault, a momentary loss
In the depths of the fog, which is less than the cost
That we've lost, inspiration gets it's crown from the few
Adulation is found with, I'm grounded, are you?
Dreams can take you everywhere...
If not tomorrow or today then I'll still follow
Paths that the Lord's laid (it's His way so)
Dreams can take you everywhere...
I know they told me that they couldn't but I wouldn't listen
Running down the hallway (and out the door)
