Last Sunday, my sister treated me for a movie and we chose to watch The Greatest Showman. I have heard great and not so great reviews about the movie but most of my friends raved about it so it got my curiosity.
The movie is a musical inspired from the life of P. T Barnum and how he made his dream of putting together a show featuring "freaks". Although the movie made adjustments to what really happened to Barnum's life to keep the audience entertained, I still loved how the casts gave life to their characters, how the songs were pleasing to the ear and the over all inspiration that the story is giving. There were a number of songs that I liked from the movie and one of them is the song from the first part of the movie, entitled A million dreams. While the song is being sang by the young P. T Barnum in the movie, it showcases the hardship that he had gone through and the many things that he hopes to achieve someday.
Here is the official Audio from Atlantic Records with the lyrics below. Enjoy! ;)
"A Million Dreams"
(from "The Greatest Showman" soundtrack)
[Ziv Zaifman:]
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
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, so call me crazy
We can live in a world that we design
'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
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make
There's a house we can build
Every room inside is filled
With things from far away
The special things I compile
Each one there to make you smile
On a rainy day
They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say we've lost our minds
I don't care, I don't care if they call us crazy
Run away to a world that we design
[Hugh Jackman:]
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
[Michelle Williams:]
However big, however small
Let me be part of it all
Share your dreams with me
You may be right, you may be wrong
But say that you'll bring me along
To the world you see
To the world I close my eyes to see
I close my eyes to see
[Michelle Williams & Hugh Jackman:]
Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
A million dreams, a million dreams
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
For the world we're gonna make
