Lyrics
I wasn't trying to be a dreamer
I wasn't intentionally trying to be an idealist or visionary.
All I wanted was some sleep
All I desired was some restful sleep.
'Cos my eyes had grown tired
Because my eyes were exhausted from witnessing the harsh reality.
Of what became reality
My eyes grew tired of what had become the actual state of affairs.
I dreamt the circle had been broken
In my dream, the cycle or pattern was disrupted or damaged.
A rusty link that held the chain
A deteriorating connection that held together a series of events.
That brought us back to square one
This connection brought us back to the starting point.
When we could have used some change
We returned to square one when positive change could have been beneficial.
I saw harmony across the land
I witnessed unity and peace spreading throughout the land.
People building up what we had damned
People were reconstructing and improving upon what we had previously destroyed.
We changed our mistakes and we finally moved on
We acknowledged our errors and finally progressed forward.
You didn't take me for a dreamer
You didn't perceive me as someone with dreams or aspirations.
Til you got lost in my eyes
Until you became captivated by the depth of my gaze.
On a hardship tossed in the wind
Facing challenges thrown by life, like a hardship tossed in the wind.
Of every rising tide
Facing the challenges of every difficult situation.
You saw the places I was seeking
You witnessed the destinations I was longing for.
Distant shores that have no name
Distant and unnamed shores symbolizing unexplored possibilities.
'Cos eyes that hold the ocean
Because eyes that contain the vastness of the ocean also hold a profound sorrow.
Hold a deeper pain
Eyes that carry the ocean's depth also bear a deeper emotional pain.
