Call Me a Fool
Embrace the Folly: Dreaming Beyond Limits with Joanna McGowan
Lyrics
I’m a wishful thinker, daydreamer
I have a tendency to wish for positive outcomes and often indulge in daydreams.
Smilin' as I’m finding where the grass grows greener
I am content and happy while discovering better opportunities or situations.
A true believer, with my fingers crossed
I genuinely believe in things, with a slight uncertainty or hope for the best.
Keeping my balance on the tightropes I walk across
I maintain stability while navigating through challenging situations.
Some call us fools
Some people label us as foolish.
But they don’t dream like we do
But those critics lack the imaginative and optimistic mindset that we possess.
Our thoughts can take us further than our feet could ever wander to
Our thoughts have the power to lead us farther than our physical actions can.
It might be hopeless…but I hope we stay hopeful
Even though it may seem without hope, I choose to maintain hopefulness.
Our minds can paint a picture that our hands could never start to
Our minds can create vivid images that our hands may never be able to materialize.
If dreaming makes me a fool
If being a dreamer is considered foolish,
Call me a fool
I embrace that title without hesitation.
I found my voice through patience and frustration
I discovered my identity through patience and dealing with challenges.
Tryin' to fill the boots they call my expectation
I strive to meet the expectations placed on me.
I'll be on the bright side with my glass half full
Optimistically focusing on the positive side with a hopeful perspective.
I've learnt you never let the downside take over you
Not letting difficulties overshadow my outlook on life.
Some call us fools
Similar to before, some criticize us as foolish dreamers.
But they don’t dream like we do
Highlighting the contrast between their mindset and our imaginative thinking.
Our thoughts can take us further than our feet could ever wander to
Our thoughts have the potential to lead us beyond physical limitations.
It might be hopeless…but I hope we stay hopeful
Even in seemingly hopeless situations, I remain optimistic.
Our minds can paint a picture that our hands could never start to
Our minds can visualize things that our hands may never be able to create.
If dreaming makes me a fool
If being a dreamer is considered foolish,
Call me a fool
I proudly accept that label.
When your thoughts won't pull you through
When facing challenges that thoughts alone can't overcome,
The fear of failure is troubling you
The fear of failure can be unsettling.
When your passion feels like a curse
When passion seems like a burden,
You can't think how things can get any worse
It's hard to imagine things could get any worse.
Don't give up now you've come so far
Encouragement not to give up despite reaching a challenging point.
You are stronger than you think you are
Belief in inner strength surpassing perceived limitations.
Some call us fools
Once again, critics may label us as foolish dreamers.
But they don’t dream like we do
Emphasizing the difference in mindset between them and us dreamers.
Our thoughts can take us further than our feet could ever wander to
Our thoughts have the capacity to surpass physical boundaries.
It might be hopeless…but I hope we stay hopeful
In seemingly hopeless situations, I maintain hopefulness.
Our minds can paint a picture that our hands could never start to (call me a fool)
Reiteration that our minds can visualize what our hands may not achieve (call me a fool).
Some call us fools
Once more, some criticize us as foolish dreamers.
But they don’t dream like we do
Underscoring the difference in thinking between them and us imaginative dreamers.
Our thoughts can take us further than our feet could ever wander to
Our thoughts can transcend physical limitations.
It might be hopeless…but I hope we stay hopeful
Even in seemingly hopeless situations, I hold onto hope.
Our minds can paint a picture that our hands could never start to
Our minds have the ability to envision what our hands may not be able to create.
If dreaming makes me a fool
If being a dreamer is considered foolish,
Call me a fool
I proudly embrace that title.
