Lyrics

Dream Painter
Words and Music by Erik A. Swerrie

No one knows the reason why we dream the things we do,
No one knows the answer to life’s questions,
But we don’t need the answers, just give us a dream,
Something to give our lives direction

Reach for the stars, and you’ll meet the moon,
Be who you are, there’s no one stopping you,
Touch all of the colors that the world has to give,
And you will paint your dreams true

Looking for a refuge to retreat from every day,
Caught up in the wind of life's confusion,
But the wind, relentlessly, won’t let you fly away,
It carries you beyond your own horizons

Reach for the stars, and you’ll meet the moon,
Be who you are, there’s no one stopping you,
Touch all of the colors that the world has to give,
And you will paint your dreams true

Don’t be afraid to bring someone along with you,
Don’t be afraid to touch the world with your love,
Find your own song and sing it,
Find your own dream and dream it

Reach for the stars, and you’ll meet the moon,
Be who you are, there’s no one stopping you,
Touch all of the colors that the world has to give,
And you will paint your dreams true

And when the evening smiles, and the sun sets through the redwood trees,
And the fire warms and glows to have you near it,
Keep your eye on the stars and not on the pain in your heart,
‘Cause we don’t live on pain, we live on Spirit

Reach for the stars, and you’ll meet the moon,
Be who you are, there’s no one stopping you,
Touch all of the colors that the world has to give,
And you will paint your dreams true

Reach for the stars, and you’ll meet the moon,
Be who you are, there’s no one stopping you,
Touch all of the colors that the world has to give,
And you will paint your dreams true,
Yes, you will paint your dreams true,
You will paint your dreams true
