Dancing in My Dreams Lyrics

I've been running from the truth
I've been running since my youth
tired of running
I will stand here till you see
I am you and you are me
tired of running

There really is no difference
when you look beneath the skin
someday I know we'll go beyond
this world we're living in

Now when I lay me down to sleep
I will be dancing in my dreams
Seeing the way it all should be
I will be dancing
Now when I lay me down to sleep
I will be dancing in my dreams
Seeing the way it all should be
I will be dancing....ummmm
Dancing in my dreams

There's no hiding in the dark
from the beating of my heart it's getting louder
Just as long as we believe
the truth will set us free it's getting louder
All that really matters is the light in your face
In you I see the longing of the whole human race

Now when I lay me down to sleep
I will be dancing in my dreams
Seeing the way it all should be
I will be dancing
Now when I lay me down to sleep
I will be dancing in my dreams
Seeing the way it all should be
I will be dancing
Dancing in my dreams

All along the story goes
or it's the passing of the torch...ummmm
with one small pass it all begins
then there are millions more, millions more

Now when I lay me down to sleep
I will be dancing in my dreams
Seeing the way it all should be
I will be dancing
Now when I lay me down to sleep
I will be dancing in my dreams
Seeing the way it all should be
I will be dancing...ohhhh
Dancing in my dreams
Ohhhh...uhhhh dancing in my dreams

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is such a beautiful powerful song, both lyrically and melodically. If you haven't heard it, you really should, youtube it or something. It inspires me so much and I can't even put my finger on why.
