Lyrics
Drea’Man
Intro
Mired down in the days of our lives
Got no time to dream, gotta pay for this time
Your life just seems to pass you by
Your dreams seem evermore out of reach
It’s time to stop, to begin again
It’s time you start to live your dream
Verse
Though your dreams may sometimes fade
they’re never really gone
Like a childhood story you treasure
re-awake them, your heart’s the way
Don’t accept the “NO’s” you hear
and echo on their doubt and fear
Turn their world upside down
share the joy you’ve found
Refrain
It’s time to take your dreams
down off the shelf
It’s time to read your heart a story
Chorus
Dare to dream
Share your dream
Live your dream
Verse
I can see it in your eyes
I can hear it in your voice
You’ve got your dreams
you believe in
Refrain
Share your vision with us all
for our world needs your light
'Cause dreams are made of love
I know that’s why we’re here
Refrain
It’s time to take your dreams down off the shelf
It’s time to read your heart a story
Chorus
Dare to dream
Share your dream
Live your dream
Outro
It’s time to take your dreams
down off the shelf
It’s time to read your heart a story
Dare to dream
Share your dream
Live your dream
