When I was younger I
Used to think of all the things that I wanted to do
What I wanted to be
All the things I could see
Now I'm finding
Realizing things are starting to work out for me
In the grand scheme
This is happening!
And I know I'm still a long way off!
Still light years from the top but I
Got my feet on the ground!
I got my running start
I'm not dreaming!
I'm not dreaming anymore!
Fell out my head onto the floor
Now they're existing
These dreams!
They're coming to life and I've
Never felt!
So alive and now
Can't wait to find out how
To make tomorrow's dreams come around
There's nothing wrong with thinking big
As long as you don't forget to live
Day's drag on that's how it goes
Doesn't mean the wheels aren't turning
And I know I'm still a long way off
Still light years from the top
But I'm not dreaming!
I'm not dreaming anymore!
Fell out my head onto the floor
Now they're existing
These dreams!
They're coming to life and I've
Never felt!
So alive and now
Can't wait to find out how
To make tomorrow's dreams come around
I'm learning everyday!
Nothing comes easy!
But if it's worth having!
I'll give it everything!
And we know we're still a long way off
Still light years from the top
But we got our running start
And we're not gonna stop!
I'm not dreaming!
I'm not dreaming anymore!
Fell out my head onto the floor
Now they're existing
These dreams!
They're coming to life and I've
Never felt!
So alive and now
Can't wait to find out how
To make tomorrow's dreams come around
I'm not dreaming!
I'm not dreaming anymore!
I'm not dreaming!
I'm not dreaming anymore!
