Dreams Come True

Ooh… yeah…
We used to wonder…
If we’d ever see this day…
Mmm…

I would lay awake and trace the stars
Wondering if dreams could reach that far
Every voice said “stay inside the lines”
But I followed what was in my mind

Silent tears, I let them fall alone
Turned the hurt into a stepping stone
Now I’m standing where I used to pray
And the view is worth the price I paid

They didn’t see what I could be
But I held on, I let it breathe

Through every doubt, through every night
I found the strength to chase the light

Now I know… dreams come true
When you believe the way I do
Not a wish upon a distant star
It’s the fire that you keep inside your heart
Dreams come true… yeah
And nothing’s gonna take it from me now
I’ve come too far to turn around
Dreams come true

There were days I almost walked away
Let the weight of the world have its way
But a whisper told me “wait and see”
What’s for you will find you eventually… oh…

Now the road I walked alone at night
Is the same one shining in the light
Every loss became a lesson learned
Every bridge I crossed, I watched it burn

They didn’t know what I could hold
Now the story’s being told

All the tears, the sleepless nights
Led me here into the light

Now I know… dreams come true
When you believe the way I do (oh, the way I do)
Not a wish upon a distant star
It’s the fire that you keep inside your heart
Dreams come true… yeah (yes they do)
And nothing’s gonna take it from me now
I’ve come too far to turn around
Dreams come true (dreams come true…)

Looking back, I see it clear
The pain was just the path from here to here

I wouldn’t trade a single step
‘Cause every scar is part of what I am

And if you’re out there waiting on your moment
Just know the time will come if you own it
(Male) Hmm… I’m living proof…
(Female) Living proof… oh…

You wanna know what it took?
Late nights, no sleep, barely a cent to my name
They said “give up, it’s over, it’s a losing game”
But I kept writing, kept fighting, kept the flame
Now the same ones who doubted? They know my name
It’s funny how they love you when you finally break through
But you gotta stay true
Yeah… you gotta stay you
This ain’t luck, it’s the price I paid
Every dream you see? I hand-made

And I know… I know that road so well
The silent prayers, the stories only heaven heard
But look at us now… oh…
We made it through the words…

(Male) Dreams come true… (They really do)
(Female) When you believe the way I do (Oh, you gotta believe)
(Male) Not a wish upon a distant star (No)
(Female) It’s the fire that you keep inside your heart (Inside your heart)
(Both) Dreams come true… yeah
Nothing’s gonna take it from me now
I’ve come too far to turn around
Dreams come true (They do… they do…)

(Male spoken softly) Mmm…
(Female) All the way to here… (whistle: ooh…)
I was always meant to be right here
(Both) Dreams…
(Female, whistle) They come true…
(Saxophone holds final note, fades)
(Male) Yeah…
(Female, fading) Ooh… ooh… oh…
