Well we've come a long, long way
And there's no turning back
The road ahead is clear at last
We can search our whole lives through
Never knowing what we'll find
But we can make it if we try
Cause every cloud has a silver lining
Just believe that the sun will shine

Dream on (Dream on Dream on)
If you look deep inside your heart
You can reach the highest star
Dream on (Dream on Dream on)
We can find our destiny
Be anything we want to be
If we
Dream on

We can make a wish come true
(You know it's up to you)
We can swim against the tide
If we just let courage be our guide
And I know we'll find a way
(Find a way, We gonna find a way)
If we close our eyes and dream (Oooh)
Our time will come just wait and see
We won't give up gotta keep on trying
A ray of hope gives you wings to fly

Dream on (Dream on Dream on)
If you look deep inside your heart
You can reach the highest star
Dream on (Dream on Dream on)
We can find our destiny
Be anything we want to be
If we
Dream on

Just hold your head up high
And we can touch the sky
We gotta make it through (together)
(Ooh Ooh Aah, Ooh Ooh Aah)
The future's in our hands
Taking chances making plans
We'll have everything we need
If we

Dream on (Dream on Dream on)
If you look deep inside your heart
You can reach the highest star
Dream on (Dream on Dream on)
We can find our destiny
Be anything we want to be
If we

Dream on (Dream on Dream on)
If you look deep inside your heart
You can reach the highest star
Dream on (Dream on Dream on)
We can find our destiny
Be anything we want to be
If we
Dream on (Dream On Dream on)

Dream on...

    This song is foreshadowing the guys' future before they broke up. They have come a long way and they can't go back.

    "We can reach the highest star"- Jesse: Second star to the right

    "We can swim against the tide"- Jesse in Summerland

    "Just hold your head up high, and we can touch the sky"- Telling the fans to be the best so that they can rise to the top.

    "we're gonna make it through together, the future is in our hands, taking chances, making plans"- Talking about the lawsuit. Trying to survive through everything. They are ready to be the most popular boyband in the world and they got to make it happen. But really they're not going to be together in the future.

    "we wont give up, gotta keep on trying" - The guys are not going to give up on the lawsuit. They are going to do whatever they can.

    The words "Dream On" is for the fans. It means that the fans should find something else.

    I'm not sure if I have the right meaning to this song. I just have a feeling that this song is a sign of foreshadowing. I did a lot of research and a lot of thinking and I feel like I have found out something that no one knew about, not even the person who wrote the song. I will have a fan fiction coming out soon, so check at groups.msn.com/whatsupwithdreamstreet to read it.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Album art
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
