about

This song was born out of being told for the millionth time that I was naïve to think that people would ever be able to get along. Not letting go of that belief just yet.

lyrics

CRAZY DREAMS © By Joanie Calem
Well I woke in the morning from a crazy dream
And I was wondering what it means
I dreamt that I was flying
Above the grass so green.
Below I saw the oceans blue, the mountains tall and high
Everything looked peaceful from way up in the sky

So what do I need to do, To make this dream come true? What do I need to do?

Well I woke in the morning from another crazy dream
And I was wondering what it means
I dreamt everyone was happy,
In a field full of trees.
Everyone was smiling, holding hands and dancing around
Every different color, like the flowers in the ground

So what do I need to do, To make this dream come true? What do I need to do?

Well I woke in the morning from a crazy dream
And I was wondering what it means
I dreamt I was in a city
But not like one I’d ever seen….
The streets were clean and quiet, you could even hear the birds
People were out walking along, you could smell the fresh green earth.

So what do I need to do, To make this dream come true? What do I need to do?

So how come dreams of life being fine make me sound like I’m naive?
How come our world’s so full of pain, with no sense of relief?
I still believe in childish dreams, that we can get along
I still believe we can heal the world, don’t tell me that I’m wrong……..

So what do I need to do, To make these dreams come true? What do I need to do?
