Hello everyone, and welcome to Hive Open Mic week 276. My name is Icelover, and today I’m excited to share my cover of "A Million Dreams" from the beloved movie, The Greatest Showman.
It is a standout song from the musical film released in 2017 and performed by Ziv Zaifman, Hugh Jackman, and Michelle Williams.
The song revolves around the actor's imagination and determination to create a world of wonder.
Despite facing criticism from people around him, his visionary dream and aspiration for his circus were strong. I find this deeply relatable, as many of us have dreams and visions that may not be recognized or understood by those around us. It's a reminder that just because our aspirations aren’t always visible to others, it doesn’t mean they aren’t valid or achievable. Like the actor in the song, we can choose to rise above the negativity and surround ourselves with those who support and inspire us.
I hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as I enjoy performing it. Thank you for being here!
LYRICS:
I close my eyes and I can see
The world that′s waiting up for me that I call my own
Through the dark, through the door
Through where no one's been before, but it feels like home
pre-chorus
They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say I′ve lost my mind
I don't care, I don't care if they call me crazy
We can live in a world that we design
chorus
′Cause every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the world I see
A million dreams is all it′s gonna take
Oh, a million dreams for the world we're gonna make
verse
There′s a house we can build
Every room inside is filled with things from far away
Special things I compile
Each one there to make you smile on a rainy day
pre-chorus
They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say we've lost our minds
See, I don′t care, I don't care if they call us crazy
Run away to a world that we design
chorus
′Cause every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
Oh, a million dreams for the world we're gonna make
bridge
However big, however small
Let me be part of it all
Share your dreams with me
We may be right, we may be wrong
But I wanna bring you along
To the world I see
To the world we close our eyes to see
We close our eyes to see
chorus
Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it′s gonna take
A million dreams for the world we′re gonna make
outro
For the world we're gonna make
