Paradise

When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach so
She ran away in her sleep and dreamed of
Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes

- Coldplay, "Paradise"

Distance

"Regardless of how distant your dreams may seem, every second counts."

- Dean Karnazes

Get What You Give

But when the night is falling
And you cannot find the light
If you feel your dream is dying
Hold tight
You've got the music in you
Don't let go
You've got the music in you
One dance left
This world is gonna pull through
Don't give up
You've got a reason to live
Can't forget you only get what you give

- New Radicals, "You Get What You Give"

Beating Your Dreams

"Some people follow their dreams, others hunt them down and beat them mercilessly into submission."

Neil Kendall

All At Once

There's a world we've never seen
There's still hope between the dreams
The weight of it all
Could blow away with a breeze
If you're waiting on the wind
Don't forget to breathe
Cause as the darkness gets deeper
We'll be sinkin' as we reach for love
At least somethin' we could hold
But I'll reach to you from where time just can't go

What about is gone
And it really wont be so long
Sometimes it feels like a heart is no place to be singin' from at all

- Jack Johnson, "All at Once"

Invincible

Follow through
Make your dreams come true
Don't give up the fight
You will be alright
'Cause there's no one like you in the universe

Don't be afraid
What your mind conceives
You should make a stand
Stand up for what you believe
And tonight
We can truly say
Together we're invincible

During the struggle
They will pull us down
But please, please
Let's use this chance
To turn things around
And tonight
We can truly say
Together we're invincible

Do it on your own
It makes no difference to me
What you leave behind
What you choose to be
And whatever they say
Your souls unbreakable

During the struggle
They will pull us down
But please, please
Let's use this chance
To turn things around
And tonight
We can truly say
Together we're invincible
Together we're invincible

During the struggle
They will pull us down
Please, please
Let's use this chance
To turn things around
And tonight
We can truly say
Together we're invincible
Together we're invincible

- Muse, "Invincible"

How Far Do You Wanna Go?

There's an open sky staring back at us
And it's daring us to tear it up
Bury that town in a cloud of dust
How far do you wanna go?

- Gloriana, "How Far Do You Wanna Go?"

To Sleep

A flock of sheep that leisurely pass by
One after one; the sound of rain, and bees
Murmuring; the fall of rivers, winds and seas,
Smooth fields, white sheets of water, and pure sky -
I've thought of all by turns, and still I lie
Sleepless...

~William Wordsworth, "To Sleep"

Content

"Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for."

- Epicurus

Dream It

Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

Goethe

Dreams

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined.

- Henry David Thoreau

Dream BIG

When you cry, be sure to dry your eyes,
'Cause better days are sure to come.
And when you smile, be sure to smile wide,
And don't let them know that they have won.
And when you walk, walk with pride,
And don't show the hurt inside,
Because the pain sill soon be gone.

And when you dream, dream big,
As big as the ocean, blue.
'Cause when you dream it might come true.
But when you dream, dream big.

And when you laugh, be sure to laugh out loud,
'Cause it will carry all your cares away.
And when you see, see the beauty all around and in yourself,
And it will help you feel okay.
And when you pray, pray for strength to help to carry on,
But when the troubles come your way.

And when you dream, dream big,
As big as the ocean, blue.
'Cause when you dream it might come true.
But when you dream, dream big.

Dream big.
Dream big.

When you cry be sure to dry your eyes, cause better days are sure to come.
And when you smile be sure to smile wide,and
don't let them know that they have won.
And when you laugh be sure to laugh out loud,
'Cause it will carry all your cares away.
And when you see, see the beauty all
around and in yourself, and it will help you feel okay.
And when you pray, pray for strength
to help to carry on when the troubles come your way.

And when you dream, dream big,
As big as the ocean, blue.
'Cause when you dream it might come true.
But when you dream, dream big.

~Ryan Shupe, "Dream Big"

Crazy Dreams

Hello you long shots
You dark horse runners
Hairbrush singers
Dashboard drummers
Hello you wild magnolias just waiting to bloom
There's a little bit of all that inside of me and you
Thank God even crazy dreams come true

I've stood at the bottom of some walls I thought I couldn't climb
I've felt like Cinderella at the ball just runnin' out of time
So I know how it feels to be afraid
To think that it's all gunna slip away
Hold on, hold on

Here's to you free souls
You firefly chasers
Street climbers
Porch swingers
Air guitar players
Here's to you fearless dancers shaking walls in your bedrooms
There's alot of wonder left inside of me and you
Thank God even crazy dreams come true

Never let a bad day be enough to go and talk you into giving up
Sometimes everbody feels like you
Oh, feels like you
Just like youI've met some go-getters
Some difference makers
Small town heros
And big chance takers
I've met some young hearts with something to prove
Oh yeah

Hello you long shots
You dark horse runners
Hairbrush singers
Dashboard drummers
Here's to you wild magnolias just waiting to bloom
There's a little bit of all that inside of me and you
Thank God even crazy dreams come true
Thank God even crazy dreams come true

~Carrie Underwood, "Crazy Dreams"
