Dreaming On
Awakening Truth: Obidi Nnedu's Call to Live with Purpose
Lyrics
Well, i don't need no more deception
Expressing a desire for honesty and rejecting deception.
You better hit me with the truth and tell no lies
Requesting to be confronted with the truth without any falsehoods.
You keep making me believe
Acknowledging the influence of someone in making the speaker believe in a positive future.
That tomorrow's got the key
Suggesting that the hope for a better future lies in tomorrow.
But nothing's all i see
Expressing disappointment as the speaker sees only negativity.
Can you look into the eyes of people watching
Asking if the listener can empathize by looking into the eyes of suffering people.
Can you see the pain and sorrow they're going through
Highlighting the pain and sorrow experienced by others.
Tell me do you feel the way the people feel
Questioning if the listener truly understands and shares the emotions of those in distress.
Or may this a'int real
Pondering the authenticity of the emotions or situation.
C'mon, live a life with meaning
Encouraging living a meaningful life.
Oh no.. or you'll end alone
Warning about the potential loneliness if a meaningful life is not pursued.
C'mon, live a life with feelings
Encouraging experiencing life with genuine emotions.
Or we can just keep dreaming on
Suggesting an alternative of continuing to dream without taking action.
Tell me, have you seen the news on television
Asking if the listener is aware of current events through various media.
Or did you hear the stories over the radio
Questioning the listener's awareness of stories and events broadcasted.
Tell me how you sleep alright when people are dying day and night
Expressing concern about how one can sleep peacefully when there is suffering.
Or may this a'int real too
Reiterating doubt about the reality of the situation.
C'mon, live a life with meaning
Repeating the encouragement to lead a meaningful life.
Oh no.. or you'll end alone
Reinforcing the warning about potential isolation if a meaningful life is not pursued.
C'mon, live a life with feelings
Reiterating the call to experience life with genuine feelings.
Or we can just keep dreaming on
Repeating the suggestion to continue dreaming without taking concrete steps.
C'mon, live a life with meaning
Emphasizing the importance of leading a meaningful life.
Oh no.. or you'll end alone
Reiterating the warning about potential loneliness without a meaningful life.
C'mon, live a life with feelings
Encouraging the experience of life with genuine emotions.
Or we can just keep dreaming on
Repeating the suggestion to continue dreaming without taking concrete steps.
