I Have A Dream Lyrics

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

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.

Just a nice inspirational song. Westlife do a really good cover of it BTW.

I'm sure this song has a much deeper meaning than most people seem to think. If you believe in angels, it follows that you believe in life after death. Crossing the stream is a euphemism for dying, like 'crossing over', 'going over to the other side', etc. It comes from Greek mythology - the river Styx. ('Stream' rhymes with 'dream', but 'river' doesn't!) Also several hymns talk about 'the narrow stream that divides us', or a similar phrase. Spiritual people also talk about the way that in our dreams we sometimes travel to the spirit world and meet our loved ones that have gone ahead of us. But, like the effect of the river Styx, we mostly forget what has happened when we awake, just as we forget our life in spirit when we incarnate on earth. I believe that we die when the time is right for us, be it sooner or later. Our soul knows when this is, but our physical self doesn't - usually. Hope this helps.
