English Dream Lyrics

I once had a dream
A feeling inside
A yearning so bad
You have to shout it out

Hey, kid, look at me
You can make it real
You can get it if you want

Hey, you know when
When I first started out
They shut all the doors
But I laughed at all the doors
And I kicked them down

Here's my energy for you
Step into the light
While you still feel young

When I look in your eyes
And I reach for your hands
Well, I'll do anything
To make you understand

That I'm still the seeker
For your English dreams
Don't you give up trying
And don't you let me down

The English dream
Don't let me down
The English dream
Don't let me down

The English dream
Don't let me down
The English dream
Don't let me down

Tell them

I look in your eyes
And I reach for your hands
Well, I'll do anything
To help you understand

That I'm still the seeker
For your English dreams
Don't you, don't you give up trying
And don't you let me down

The English dream
Don't let me down
The English dream
Don't let me down

The English dream
Don't let me down
The English dream
Don't let me down
The English dream
Don't let me down

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.
