Dare To Dream Lyrics

Here are the lyrics for Dare To Dream. This is super fresh. I wrote it on New Years Eve before going out. We recorded it at the end of January and completed it mid-Feb, just in time to send it to the Czech Republic to get the vinyl pressed. We had the music recorded but I only had a handful of lyrics and we had to make a decision on what would be single N before it was finished to get the artwork pressed in time. We gambled on this based on the music hoping the lyrics would do it justice. Thankfully it turned out to be a winner. Last minute magic.

Dare To Dream

 

Strength, purity of mind

Youth, unconcerned with time

Overflowing spirit full of life

It's all lost

 

Hope, running free and wild

The will to never look behind

To search for something that you'll never find

It's all gone

 

Oh, why do you have to dream so hard?

It only breaks your heart

 

Brave in everything you tried

To the limits of your mind

The hedonistic voyages inside

All in vain

 

Oh, why do you have to dream so hard?

It only breaks your heart

 

Reckless heart!

Rebel spirit!

Heights of joy!

 

Challenge what is possible

You can change the world

Breaking through the speed of light

You will have to pay the price

Call of danger in the night

Chasing falling stars

Wonder what became of us?

You have seen too much

Too much 

Too young

 

Oh, why do you have to dream so hard?

It only breaks your heart

I only downloaded this last week as I was stuck in Morocco because of the ash (ha!) and have been listening to it every chance I get.

"Oh, why do you have to dream so hard, it only breaks your heart"...how true.

An anthem if ever I heard one...up there with TOTI...no, better.

Great tune, really grows on you big style. Being one of your more mature fans I would say a touch of Yes influence,in fact I kind of get a sence of Yes on some of the other A-Z tracks mmmm
Ash songs get 10 out of 10 for the Old Grey Whistle Test. I have all your stuff and every one is bril.
Nobody is in the same league. Look forward to Glasgow on the 27th if I can get off this flipping oil rig what with volcanic ash stopping the choppers, hey that's spooky

But seriously brilliant song!

Proof that leaving things to the last minute is the route to success!
