Johann Gottfried von Herder

Within Eternity (Ein Traum)

A dream, a dream is our being
of mortal clay,
like shadows on the road we're fleeing
and fade away.

We measure progress by the ride of
an hours' strife,
and live - and know not - right inside of
eternal life...

Yours

They told me love don't last forever
Now i understand
To think that only yesterday
You held me in your hands
And i became a woman
And you became the world , to me
I was lost , no dream to high
No star to far apart
Your carpet ride holding me
You led me to believe that i was yours, yours
I swallowed every lie
And you will cry when i'm away ,on your own , like me
When i was yours
(break)
I could live my life without you, that is not enough
I can't lie awake believin' you don't want my love
Alone in my desire
And still the fire burns , my friend
I was there . i loved you well
Though we are far apart , i love you still
I relive the very moment when you called me yours , yours
Don't let me die inside
Save me from the memories, the hours that i cried
Say to me that i am yours, yours , mine eternity
And you will cry when i'm away
On your own , like me ,when i was yours
Yours, yours , don't let me die inside
Save me from the memories, the hours that i cried
Say to me that i am yours , yours for eternity
And you will cry when i'm away
The hours that i cry
Say to me that i am yours, yours
Don't let me die inside (fade out ) ......

Dreaming Reality

In the real world, as in dreams,
Nothing is quite as it seems.
To see what we have never seen,
To be what we have never been,
To shed the chrysalis, learn to fly,
Depart the earth, kiss the sky,
To be reborn, be someone new,
Is this a dream or is it true?

Is my life in fact a dream?
Are things not always as they seem?
Are daylight hours reality,
Or do I dream eternally?
In the dream world or the real,
We cannot know what we can't feel.
What is not a dream by day,
Comes to us at night to stay.

Dreams - vivid colors of life,
Or fleeting, obscure, murky strife?
Façade of reality brings,
To the mind, exquisite things:
Love, regret, memories, cheer,
Imagination, even fear.
The lives we live appear, it seems,
To be a dream within a dream.
A long dream of hopeless sorrow,
I'll dream my life again tomorrow.

A Dream Away

A dream away
Five in the mornin, all alone in your room
Door locked tight, private moon
No faces to face, no one to blame
Nonexistent inside this frame
(? ) take it on the run
Oo, yeah take it on the run
Uh yeah
Theres a cheetah walkin high
Liquid whispers, dragonfly
Charleston booties on painted toes
Drop the knot ivory soul
(? ) take it on the run
Oo yeah, take it on the run
Oo yeah, take it on the run
Because the good life is just a dream away
I said the good life is just a dream awaaaay
Choke emotion, all lose control
Chicken encounters fill your bowls
The lonely crowd is decomposed
Lost obsession, future froze
Well, take it on the run
Oo yeah, take it on the run
Oo yeah, take it on the run
Take it on the run
Take it on the run
Take it on the run
Take it
Cause the good life is just a dream away
Yeah, oo the good good life is just a dream away
Oo, oh well the good good good good life is just a dream away
Just a dream
Just a dream
Just a dream, dream away
(? ) the good good good good life
The good life is just a dream away
Just a dream
Just a dream
Dream away
[fade]

Bring On The Night

I was taking a chance on a tight-rope
Walking the line to the end
I was ready to fall had my back to the wall
But i'm flying again...
I been shifting my gears. i been moving
Cause they wanted me dead or alive
But i'm making a break and i want you to take a ride
Take a ride -
Bring on the night
Into the shadows and out of the light
Bring on the night
Let the dream chaser take you away
When the sun hits another horizon...
And the joker has started to deal...
You can quit if you choose but there's nothing to lose
By a spin of the wheel
Gotta burn all your bridges behind you, they'll keep dragging
You down if you stay...
And i know i ain't wrong cause i'm free and i'm on my way
On my way...
Bring on the night
Into the shadows and out of the light
Bring on the night
Let the dream chaser take you away
I live on the edge of tomorrow
I'm racing along on the wind
I can see what i need, you better believe
I'm playin' to win
I got nothin' to fear when i'm flyin...
Cause yesterday's over and gone
And there's nothin' i can do...so i gotta keep movin' on..
Movin' on -
Movin' on -
Bring on the night
Into the shadows and out of the light
Bring on the night
Let the dream chaser take you away...take you away
Bring on the night
"dream chaser"
Repeat till fade

They Say...

They say dreams never do come true..
But they are wrong, I say they do
I dream of violence, I dream of hurt
I dream of children, they live in dirt
I dream of you, I dream of me
I dream of how this was never meant to be
I dream of my feelings, I dream of my thoughts
I dream of these things, I dream of them lots
I dream of my loved ones, I dream of the dead
I dream of these thoughts, exploding my head
I dream of you yelling, I dream of you crying
I dream of you hiding, I dream of you lying
I dream of you hurting, I dream of you shutting me out of your life
I dream of the of the only one I can trust, I dream of my knife.
They say dreams never do come true,
But they are wrong, I say they do.

Day Dreamer

Day Dreamer
By: Adam M. Snow

If dreams would end with life of all life,
would our dreams still suffer with strife?
Would the day dreamer still dream,
or is it all that it may seem?
Dreaming in a night, or in a day,
dreaming as it's all flown away.

Living a life as it use to be,
like branches of stars we see.
Is this but a dream within a dream,
to grasp the glistening moonlight beam?
From dawn to dusk, dusk to dawn,
dreaming of that day that is gone.

That day to which all dreams died,
with all fears and hope we feel inside.
Dreams that died will be born once more.
dreams freed beyond the open door.
If dreams live within all life,
will it one day be free of all strife?

To be in the vastness of one's dream,
and lit the way with a sparkle gleam.
To be with peace and fear surround,
to be the lost now is found.
If dreams would end with life of all life,
would our dreams still suffer with strife?

Dream A While With Me

I dream of rainbows, Bright in the sky,
I dream of lightning, together we cry,

I dream of flowers, I feel such delight,
I dream of spiders, and I scream with fright,

I dream of fish, swimming in the sea,
I dream of sharks, coming after me,

I dream of lambs, frolicking around,
I dream of wolves, Hunting, no sound,

I dream of children, several of them ours,
I dream of them waking, Being up for hours,

Stay with me forever and together we'll cope,
Because when I dream of you, I dream of hope,

Dream awhile with me and together we'll see,
Not all dreams are bad, so dream along with me.

Pablo Neruda

Sonnet LXXXI: Rest with your dream inside my dream

Already, you are mine. Rest with your dream inside my dream.
Love, grief, labour, must sleep now.
Night revolves on invisible wheels
and joined to me you are pure as sleeping amber.

No one else will sleep with my dream, love.
You will go we will go joined by the waters of time.
No other one will travel the shadows with me,
only you, eternal nature, eternal sun, eternal moon.

Already your hands have opened their delicate fists
and let fall, without direction, their gentle signs,
you eyes enclosing themselves like two grey wings,

while I follow the waters you bring that take me onwards:
night, Earth, winds weave their fate, and already,
not only am I not without you, I alone am your dream.

Life is a dream

Life is a dream
Dream so beautiful
Life is a dream
The dream that we live …

Life is a dream
That some of us likes
Life is a dream
That sometimes scares us

The life that we live
Is our life truth?
The life that we live
Sometimes makes us fool
And then we think

It the life true?
Or it’s just a dream
That’s not so true…
I’m not sure, but for me life is a Dream
A dream I’m living…

(What’s life for you?)

When I Live My Dream

When I live my dream, Ill take you with me
Riding on a golden horse
Well live within my castle, with people there to serve you
Happy at the sound of your voice
Baby, Ill slay a dragon for you
Or banish wicked giants from the land
But you will find, that nothing in my dream can hurt you
We will only love each other as forever
When I live my dream
When I live my dream, Ill forgive the things youve told me
And the empty man you left behind
Its a broken heart that dreams, its a broken heart you left me
Only love can live in my dream
Ill wish, and the thunder clouds will vanish
Wish, and the storm will fade away
Wish again, and you will stand before me while the sky will paint an overture
And trees will play the rhythm of my dream
When I live my dream, please be there to meet me
Let me be the one to understand
When I live my dream, Ill forget the hurt you gave me
Then we can live in our new land
Till the day my dream cascades around me
Im content to let you pass me by
Till that day, youll run to many other men
But let them know its just for now
Tell them that Ive got a dream
And tell them youre the starring role
Tell them Im a dreaming kind of guy
And Im going to make my dream
Tell them I will live my dream
Tell them they can laugh at me
But dont forget your date with me
When I live my dream

Dream Machine

Live to ride,
ride my dream machine
Good conditions
sometime are extreme
Running from the daily grind
He was, he was a friend of mine
Gonna take a long, long time
But the stain will fade away
Running from the daily grind
He was, he was a friend of mine.
Live to ride,
ride in the lonesome wind
Cross the line,
you can't come back again
Never let a dream machine
Gather dust in your garage
Gonna take a long, long time
But the stain will fade away
Running from the daily grind
He was, he was a friend of mine.
Gonna take a long, long time
But the stain will fade away
Running from the daily grind
He was, he was a friend of mine.
Live to ride,
ride my dream machine.

Live To Ride

Live to ride, ride my dream machine
Good conditions sometime are a screen
Running from the daily grime
He was, he was a friend of mine
Gonna take a long, long time
But this thing will fade away
Running from the daily grime
He was, he was a friend of mine.
Live to ride, ride in the lonesome wind
Cross the line, you cant come back again
Never let a dream machine
Gather dust in your garage
Gonna take a long, long time
But this thing will fade away
Running from the daily grime
He was, he was a friend of mine.
Gonna take a long, long time
But this thing will fade away
Running from the daily grime
He was, he was a friend of mine.
Live to ride, ride my dream machine.

I dream my own dream

When I dream of love,
I dream about you..

When I dream about happiness,
I dream about my families..

When I dream of pain,
I dream about all the sadness inside me..

When I dream of horror,
I dream about the nightmare that would
wake me up in the middle of night..

When I dream about the death,
I dream myself crying in sleep..

When I dream a dream,
I dream all those thing
that are real and not real..

I dream about all the thing
that are in my mind,
I dream about all the thing
that I desire for..

I dream my own dream..

We Dream In Color

Dream sequence
(wake up, wake up, wake up, time to dream)
(wake up, time to dream)
We dream, we dream, we dream in color
Wake me up in the middle of the night, tell me what youve seen
Ivory clouds in a sea of blue, fields of endless green
But we lie here and we search for stars
Or big bad letters all the way from mars
The sky is black and the moon is pale, and we cry for this world of ours
In the dark we still believe (oh you know that we still believe)
In the dark we see
Chorus:
We dream in color - but we live in black and white
We dream in color - like a rainbow in the night
We dream of peace, we dream of love, but still the dream is not enough
We dream in color
Oh yes we dream
I wake up in the middle of the day, locked within this cell
The sun is weak on the gun gray street, a cold and concrete hell
So I close my eyes and remember the days
Of a blood red sky and a purple haze
The flag was yours and the flag was mine, but we let it fade away
In the dark we still believe (oh you know that we still believe)
In the dark we see
We dream in color - but we live in black and white
We dream in color - like a rainbow in the night
We dream of peace, we dream of love, but still the dream is not enough
We dream in color
(guitar solo)
This is where it all comes down, this is where the truth is found
Someones gotta keep this dream alive
We dream in color - but we live in black and white
We dream in color - like a rainbow in the night
We dream of peace, we dream of love, we dream of life!
We dream in color
We dream in color - we dream, yes we dream
We dream in color - but we live in black and white
We dream in color - and hold on to each other
We dream in color - lover to lover, sister to brother, we hold on
We dream in color
We dream in color - we dream
We dream in color - we dream...

Dreams

We go to bed with a dream,
We get up with a dream.
All our life we strive for a dream.
All our life we dream.

It’s beautiful to live with a dream,
Though sometimes we suffer.
There are moments we scream
And life seems to be a tougher.

We all dream to achieve a goal.
Our dream is an elixir of longevity.
It’s an elixir for our undying soul,
It’s Gods gift and His charity.

The one who can dream survive,
A dream widens the world,
That one always feels alive.
Inside the brain a dream unfurls.

Calendars are just ruthless,
But we are still proud of our age.
Even being toothless (ha ha)
We dream to perform on a stage.

The book of life I cherish,
I try to reach my dream.
My soul makes it garish
And strive for another dream.

May be my dream won’t come true
As devil hurts sometimes
But the beautiful picture I drew
Will be the bells chimes.

So, dream, my dear friend,
Up to the last breath, up to the end!

One Last Dream Of....

one last dream of being on this universe,
one last dream of being under this horrible curse,
one last dream of loosing hope,
one last dream of being under the scope,
one last dream of self harm,
one last dream of hurting her arm,
one last dream of dying inside,
one last dream of wanting to hide,
one last dream of a hospital,
one last dream of a lost soul,
one last dream of thinking knowbody is there,
one last dream of living in fear,
one last dream of wanting to be dead,
one last dream of harmful thoughts in my head,
one last dream of giving up on myself,
one last dream of not wanting help..

The road to success

The Road to Success
We all want to walk on the road of success
But do you day by day measure your progress
Do you have a vision?
Do you have a mission?
You need one even if it is inspired by television

We all want to walk on the road of success
But do you day by day measure your progress
Critically look at your personal development
Grizzle over the final accomplishment
Decide on the instruments you need at the moment?

On its road, there are many paths to take
With many sacrifices along the way to make
Patience, faith and hard work, please don’t forsake
Or your dreams will pour empty into a wide lake

We all want to walk on the road of success
But do you day by day measure your progress
Is your vision greater than greatness?
You are the first one you must try to impress
Take a step at a time and do not digress

For success when achieved, I say without sarcasm
Is more gratifying than any orgasm
