Street of Dreams
Midnight Melodies: Finding Hope on the Street of Dreams
Lyrics
Midnight, you heavy laden, it's midnight
Midnight, a time of heaviness and burdens
Come on and trade in your old dreams for new
Encouragement to exchange old dreams for new ones
Your new dreams for old
Suggesting a willingness to trade experiences
I know where they're bought
Awareness of where dreams can be acquired
I know where they're sold
Acknowledgment of the market for dreams
Midnight, you've got to get there at midnight
Emphasis on the importance of reaching a destination at midnight
And you'll be met there by others like you
Expectation of meeting others in a similar quest
Brothers as blue
Reference to shared emotions, particularly sadness
Smiling on the street of dreams
People with similar feelings smiling on the street of dreams
Love laughs at a king
Love transcends social status
Kings don't mean a thing
Emphasizing the insignificance of kings
On the street of dreams
Reiteration of the setting as the street of dreams
Dreams broken in two can be made like new
Belief in the possibility of repairing broken dreams
On the street of dreams
Reinforcement of the transformative nature of the street of dreams
Gold, sliver and gold
Material wealth represented by gold and silver
All you can hold is in the moonbeams
Abundance available in the intangible moonbeams
Poor, no one is poor
Assertion that, with love, no one is truly poor
Long as love is sure
Importance of love's certainty in overcoming poverty
On the street of dreams
Reiteration of the transformative power of the street of dreams
Midnight, look at the steeple, it's midnight
Observation of the time and the church steeple
Unhappy people, it's ringing with joy
Description of unhappy people amidst joyous ringing
It's ringing with cheer
Highlighting the contrasting emotions in the atmosphere
'Cause yesterday's gone
Recognition that the past is gone
Tomorrow is near
Anticipation of the near future
Midnight, the heart is lighter at midnight
Noting a lighter heart at midnight
Things will be brighter the moment you find
Expectation of a brighter future upon discovery
More of your kind
Desire for more like-minded individuals
Smiling on the street of dreams
Smiles shared on the street of dreams
Love laughs at a king
Love's ability to mock even royalty
Kings don't mean a thing
Reiteration of the insignificance of kings in love's context
On the street of dreams
Restatement of the setting as the street of dreams
Dreams broken in two can be made like new
Hope for the renewal of shattered dreams
On the street of dreams
Continued emphasis on the transformative power of the street of dreams
Gold, sliver and gold
Material wealth symbolized by gold and silver
All you can hold is in the moonbeams
Emphasis on the abundance found in the intangible moonbeams
Poor, no one is poor
Assertion that, with love, no one is truly poor
Long as love is sure
Reiteration of the importance of love's certainty in overcoming poverty
On the street of dreams
Final affirmation of the transformative power of the street of dreams
