Street of Dreams
Midnight Musings: Embracing New Dreams on the Street of Dreams
Lyrics
Midnight, you heavy laden, it's midnight
Midnight, a burdensome time, it's midnight
Come on and trade in your old dreams for new
Encouragement to exchange old dreams for new ones
Your new dreams for old
Offer to trade new dreams for old ones
I know where they're bought
Awareness of where dreams are acquired and sold
I know where they're sold
Understanding the market for dreams
Midnight, you've got to get there at midnight
Emphasis on reaching a destination at midnight
And you'll be met there by others like you
Expectation to meet others with similar experiences
Brothers as blue
Reference to companions facing similar challenges
Smiling on the street of dreams
People united in adversity, smiling on the street of dreams
Love laughs at a king
Love transcends social status or power
Kings don't mean a thing
Emphasis on the insignificance of kings
On the street of dreams
Happiness found on the street of dreams
Dreams broken in two can be made like new
Broken dreams can be renewed on this street
On the street of dreams
Recovery and renewal on the street of dreams
Gold, sliver and gold
Reference to valuable substances under moonlight
All you can hold is in the moonbeams
All desirable things found in moonbeams
Poor, no one is poor
No one is destitute as long as love is certain
Long as love is sure
Emphasis on the importance of love over material wealth
On the street of dreams
Positivity on the street of dreams
Midnight, look at the steeple, it's midnight
Observation of the midnight hour and the steeple
Unhappy people, it's ringing with joy
Recognition of unhappy people with a contrasting joyful bell
It's ringing with cheer
Celebration and cheer for the passing of yesterday
'Cause yesterday's gone
Acknowledgment of the past being gone
Tomorrow is near
Anticipation for the near future
Midnight, the heart is lighter at midnight
Feeling lighter at midnight
Things will be brighter the moment you find
Expectation of a brighter future upon finding similar individuals
More of your kind
Finding comfort in the company of like-minded individuals
Smiling on the street of dreams
Smiles on the street of dreams
Love laughs at a king
Love's ability to mock the powerful
Kings don't mean a thing
Emphasis on the insignificance of kings once again
On the street of dreams
Joy found on the street of dreams
Dreams broken in two can be made like new
Renewal of broken dreams on this street
On the street of dreams
Continued optimism on the street of dreams
Gold, sliver and gold
Reference to valuable substances under moonlight (repeated)
All you can hold is in the moonbeams
All desirable things found in moonbeams (repeated)
Poor, no one is poor
No one is destitute as long as love is certain (repeated)
Long as love is sure
Emphasis on the importance of love over material wealth (repeated)
On the street of dreams
Final affirmation of the positivity on the street of dreams
