Closer Lyrics

Closer to my dreams, coming over me
I'm getting higher, closer to my dreams
I'm getting higher and higher,
Feel it in my sleep

Sometimes it feels like I'll never go past here
Sometimes it feels like I'm stuck forever, ever

Then I'm going higher, closer to my dreams
I'm going higher and higher
I can almost reach

Sometimes you just have to let it go (Let it go)
Leaving all my fears to burn down
Push them all away so I can move on,
Closer to my dreams
Feel it all over my being

Close your eyes and seek what you believe
The path is long, and I'm moving on... to my dreams
I'll be moving on (higher) closer to my dreams

Higher and higher, higher
Feel it in my being
I know that I could not go alone
Moving higher, higher
I'm going higher, higher, higher, closer to my dreams higher and higher

I'm moving upward and onward and beyond all I can see
Stretching out my arms so I can breathe
I'm so close it's like I can reach...I can feel my dreams
Closer to my dreams
I'm moving closer to my dreams I'm moving higher and higher

Sometimes it feels like it's never going to change
But you never choose to walk away

I love this song, it really mellows things out. Everytime I listen to this song I feel like she's talking about this ascension into a higher place like thats where she wants to be and as she gets closer she can feel it in her spirit. I love listenong to this.

one the best r&b/soul songs i've heard in awhile, absoloutely beautiful. she has an amazing voice and it makes you feel like you actually can accomplish all you want. wonderfully uplifting

To me this is about striving to reach your goals... moving on, letting all the issues and drama from the past go, and just going after what you wish for. The last two lines mean the most to me, because in life it does feel sometimes as if things are never going to change... but when you want something bad enough, then you'd never choose to walk away from it... The important thing is that you let go of the weight of the past and fly free

I agree!

This song is encouraging, uplifting and refreshing. While we know it is clearly about letting go of the past, I also get the feeling she is hinting that peace comes from within and she can feel it, but the journey of life is what it is all about. It is not about the destination... She says it feels like it will never change, but you have to chose to walk away. In other words, you have to chose to search for the peace within daily on the journey of life. The journey is where you will find peace....

One of my favorite songs of all time. It's like daydreaming in a song. I love the lyrics, the melody, everything about it. When I listen to this and close my eyes it's like floating through happiness. There's a sense of calm elation. I love the song and how it makes me feel.
