We all hope this will happen to us. We all want good things to come our way. When sometimes its all we can hope for is to have our dreams come true.
Mysterious but measured in progression, apt given it’s oneiric preoccupations, “Something About a Dream” comes at you like the last thing heard before a new reality overtakes your senses.
It’s a finely-wrought expression of our elemental aptitude for self-realization.

Something About a Dream
Feel the glow of morning light
Makes you think of your endless plight
Your heart can sense, the strain begin
Don’t fail now you’ll always win
You may think, you’re slowing down
Never despair, you’re not loosing ground
It seems so close, like you're done
With the hope, you've almost won
Some folks say, there’s no way, but still you try…I know why
From what I’ve seen, there’s something about a dream
Judge yourself, from what they've said
Keep in mind, its the angst you dread
You think your world, is doing fine
Look around, you may not have much time
Words of doubt getting in your way
They speak to you everyday
"Its an uphill climb", they all preach
So your dreams get further out of reach
Some folks say, there’s no way, but still you try…I know why
From what I’ve seen, there’s something about a dream
Striving through your life, makes you want to lay down, but you don’t
Can’t you hear it, coming in the air there’s a sound, you don't know
Who knows if it strikes fear in your heart to give in, but you won’t
Cause you know I won't be there, when you really need me
Some folks say, there’s no way, but still you try…I know why
From what I’ve seen, there’s something about a dream
Day is done and you're not at home
Stay on your path or you'll begin to roam
Failing now will give you such a scare
Your dreams could die, like in a nightmare
Like the sun, that burns so bright
The stars all shine in the sky tonight
For those who had tried, how could you know
You’d find the end of your rainbow
Some folks say, there’s no way, but still you try…I know why
From what I’ve seen, there’s something about a dream
Something about a dream
Something about a dream
