Dream On
Journey Through Life's Reflections: Dream On by Mark Kingswood
Lyrics
Every time when I look in the mirror
Reflection on personal experiences and self-awareness when looking in the mirror.
All these lines on my face getting clearer
Acknowledging the aging process and the impact of life's challenges on one's appearance.
The past is gone
Recognition that the past is over and cannot be changed.
And it went by like dusk to dawn
Comparing the passage of time to the transition from dusk to dawn, emphasizing its fleeting nature.
Isn't that the way
Expressing a philosophical view that life unfolds in a certain way.
Everybody's got the dues in life to pay
Asserting that everyone has challenges or "dues" to face in life.
I know nobody knows
Acknowledging the uncertainty of life's journey and the unknown aspects of the future.
Where it comes and where it goes
Highlighting the mysterious and unpredictable nature of life's course.
I know it's everybody's sin
Stating that facing challenges and making mistakes is a universal human experience.
You got to lose to know how to win
Emphasizing the idea that understanding victory requires experiencing loss.
Half my life is books' written pages
Reflecting on the accumulation of knowledge and experiences from both literature and life.
Live and learned from fools and from sages
Learning from both foolish and wise individuals.
You know it's true
Affirming the truth of the preceding statements and their impact on personal growth.
All these feelings come back to you
Acknowledging the enduring influence of emotions and memories.
Sing with me, sing for the year
Inviting others to join in singing, creating a sense of unity and shared experience.
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tears
Encouraging singing for both joy and sorrow, encompassing the full spectrum of life.
Sing with me, just for today
Encouraging participation in the present moment, implying uncertainty about the future.
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
Suggesting the possibility of a future event (death) and the need to live fully today.
Sing with me, sing for the year
Repeating the call for collective singing and shared experiences.
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Reiterating the invitation to sing for both joy and sorrow.
Sing with me, just for today
Encouraging participation in the present moment, echoing the theme of impermanence.
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
Reiterating the uncertainty of the future and the importance of living fully today.
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Expressing the central theme of the song: encouraging dreams despite challenges.
Dream until your dreams come true
Encouraging persistence and holding onto dreams until they become reality.
Dream on, dream on Dream on, dream on Dream on
Repeating the encouragement to dream, emphasizing its significance.
Sing with me, sing for the year
Repeating the invitation to sing, fostering a sense of communal experience.
Sing for the laughter sing for the tears
Reiterating the idea of singing for both joy and sorrow, encompassing life's complexity.
Sing with me, just for today
Encouraging participation in the present moment, acknowledging life's uncertainties.
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
Suggesting the potential for a future event (death) and the need to seize the present.
