I Dreamt A Dream...

I dreamt a dream                                                                                                                                                             A dream that made me most anything...                                                                                                                     I became the dying sun, the living sea                                                                                                                         It was really something
Chorus:                                                                                                                                                                       Lived a life dreaming                                                                                                                                               That I could be anything...                                                                                                                                         The Rocky Mountain, The Mediterranean Sea...                                                                                                     But can I be me?
I turned into a beautiful, blooming bird                                                                                                                     Soaring like an eagle through the skies                                                                                                               Then, I became a flaming fish...                                                                                                                                 No one could believe their eyes
Chorus
I changed myself as much as I could                                                                                                                     Turning into something new every time                                                                                                             Then I wondered "what was I thinking?"                                                                                                       Because now I was simply a mime
Miming every living possibility                                                                                                                               But, how would it feel to be me?                                                                                                                                 So, I changed... Transformed into myself                                                                                                               And this is what I see:
Someone who is free,                                                                                                                                         Someone who is dancing joyfully,                                                                                                                   Someone who is made differently,                                                                                                                   Someone who is me
Chorus
I now realize that as I take on the world,                                                                                                                    I make it mine...                                                                                                                                                               If I were to transform into someone else,                                                                                                                  The world wouldn't be fine...                                                                                                                                         It would be of the things that I become...                                                                                                                 If I am me, I will shine!
So, I now dream a dream...                                                                                                                                          A dream of being me...                                                                                                                                                 A dream of me as pure as can be...                                                                                                                               I dream a dream...
