A Million Dreams
Farewell to a Million Dreams: Embracing the Realities of Life
Lyrics
It happens so suddenly, the line is so clear
Unexpectedly, a distinct path becomes evident
One morning you wake, and it’s finally here
One day, you wake up and find that a significant change has occurred
One day you were young, full of fire and hope
In the past, you were youthful, full of enthusiasm
Now you need all your wits to survive and to cope
Now, you must use all your intelligence to survive and cope
So say goodbye to a million dreams
Farewell to numerous aspirations
And settle for what is much too real
Accepting a reality that is too tangible
Say goodbye to a million dreams
Saying goodbye to countless dreams
So say goodbye to a million dreams
Reiterating the departure from a multitude of dreams
You’ve spent the time you were given it seems.
Recognizing that the time allotted has been spent
You’ve come to realise it was all part of the deal
Realizing that everything experienced was part of an agreement or arrangement
Yesterday resonates more than today
Yesterday holds more significance than today
And both shine brighter than tomorrow
Both yesterday and today shine more brightly than tomorrow
Hopefully, you’ve got a few dreams stashed away
Hoping that there are still a few dreams preserved
‘Cause you won’t ever be able to beg, steal or borrow
Emphasizing the inability to acquire dreams through begging, stealing, or borrowing
So say goodbye to a million dreams
Bidding farewell to an abundance of dreams
And settle for what is much too real
Settling for a reality that feels too concrete
Say goodbye to a million dreams
Expressing the departure from numerous dreams
So say goodbye to a million dreams
Repeating the act of saying goodbye to countless dreams
You’ve spent the time you were given it seems.
Acknowledging the expenditure of the given time
You’ve come to realise it was all part of the deal
Realizing that it was all part of a predetermined agreement
Yes, hopefully, you’ve got a few dreams in your pocket
Positively, having a few dreams stored for motivation
To give you the incentive to go on
Comparing dreams to precious incentives to carry on
As precious as a faded photo in your locket
Symbolizing dreams as valuable as a faded photo in a locket
To gaze upon before it’s all said and done
Suggesting reflecting on dreams before life is completed
So say goodbye to a million dreams
Repeating the act of bidding farewell to a multitude of dreams
And settle for what is much too real
Choosing to accept a reality that feels overly tangible
Say goodbye to a million dreams
Saying goodbye to a plethora of dreams
So say goodbye to a million dreams
Reiterating the departure from countless dreams
You’ve spent the time you were given it seems
Acknowledging the consumption of the allotted time
You’ve come to realise it was part of the deal
Realizing that it was all part of a predetermined agreement
You had no say, it was all part of the deal.
Understanding that there was no choice; it was all part of the predetermined agreement
