What is your daydream?

What is your daydream?

Heard this well-written song on America’s Got Talent today – Daydream by Lily Meola.

A simple song, but strikes the heart.

A song that I wish everyone sings to their kids when they are about to enter college.

A song that we should continue to revisit every time we realize that we are not spending our time doing what we want to do.

A song for everyone who is doing something that they do not excel at, and not doing something that they are the best at.

A song for every entrepreneur, for everyone who wishes to change the world, or better still, who wants to change the way they live.

Hear it…

And then try it:)


When we were kids in the back yard
Playing astronauts and rock stars
No one told us to stop it
Called us unrealistic

Then suddenly you’re eighteen
Go to college for your Plan B
What you want is too risky
Live for weekends and whiskeyWe all got these big ideas

One day they’re replaced with fears
How did we get here?Darlin’ don’t quit your daydream
It’s your life that you’re making
It ain’t big enough if it doesn’t scare the hell out of you

If it makes you nervous
It’s probably worth it
Why save it for sleep when you could be
Living your daydreamThirty-one waiting tables

She has the voice of an angel
Out of money and power
She only sings in the shower
All these things we say we’ll get to

Shot down by the reasons not toDarlin’ don’t quit your daydream
It’s your life that you’re making
It ain’t big enough if it doesn’t scare the hell out of you
If it makes you nervous
It’s probably worth it
Why save it for sleep when you could be
Living your daydream

So scared of failure that we fail to try
Turnin’ around before the finish line
Gotta fall for a minute before you can flySo daydream
It’s your life that you’re making
It ain’t big enough if it doesn’t scare the hell out of you
If it makes you nervous
It’s probably worth it

Why save it for sleep when you could be
Living your daydreamWhy save it for sleep when you should be
Living your daydream…
