West, Matthew - Dream Again Lyrics






One stopped on the day she heard him say
"I don't love you anymore"
One stopped on the front porch, 6 years old
Watching dad walk out the door

Open your eyes
Open your eyes
And dream again

One stopped when the doctors said,
"You'll never have a baby of your own"
And one stopped after two attempts at rehab
Couldn't help him get control

Open your eyes
Open your eyes
And dream again
Dream again

Your lungs are still breathing
Your heart is still beating
The end's where the future begins
Just open your eyes
Open your eyes
And dream again

All your would've beens, your could've beens, your should've beens
Just give 'em all to me
Take one last look at who you were
And now let me show you who you still can be

Open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And dream again
Come on and dream again

Your lungs are still breathing
Your heart is still beating
The end's where the future begins
Open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And dream again

I know the plans that I have for you
A hope and a future, a future
I know the plans that I have for you
A hope and a future, a future
I know the plans that I have for you
A hope and a future, a future
Yes I know the plans that I have for you
A hope and a future

Just open your eyes
Open your eyes
And dream again

One starts at the altar where "I'll never love again" becomes "I do"
One starts with a whisper, child, you've always had a Father here with you
And one starts with a baby in the backseat that they thought they'd never be bringing home
And one starts down on bended knee crying, "Jesus, I finally see, I can't beat this on my own"

Open your eyes
Open your eyes
And dream again

West, Matthew Dream Again Comments
  1. C.... J....

    Love this song, Matthew. Great heartfelt lyrics.

  2. C.... H....

    Just be needing my brothers and sisters to pray off my soon to be 65 five year old age blockage, yikes! Blessings Matthew!

  3. S.... O....

    My son got married almost 2 years ago. He and his wife wanted to start a family but she has PCOS and knew they were gonna have to go to a fertility doctor. They went and saw one and the Dr said that Kayla should start on the fertility drugs. She was producing eggs but nothing was happening. The tested my son and family it's out that he can't father children. He is having a very hard time dealing with it on top of having a severe case of Tourettes. I heard this song the other day and I started crying. As a mother you want to help your kids any way possible but I'm helpless to help him. He is my baby boy and he would make a great dad. I told him that keep his head up don't give up dreaming that one day he will be a father. Because God has a plan for him and his wife. Just keep the faith and let God do it in his time.

  11. D.... B....

    Dreams are cost free ..yet priceless if in the path of the Lord...

  12. m.... N....

    Thank you for being an undercover angel sent by God. Your songs made me recognize that I AM LOVED, I AM PRICELESS, I AM NOT A LOST CAUSE. Suddenly, I see the sky blue again, the leaves dancing and my heart beating. God never fail to amaze me how he works in mysterious ways to bring us all back to His loving arms.

  13. C.... G....

    Just this morning I was telling the Lord how I'm so tired and feel unhappy. This song was just what I needed. Thankyou 😭❤ and God bless you.

  18. L.... G....

    Wow!! 1❤❤😭😭❤❤

  19. C.... T....

    As I am sure it is to many for many reasons, this song is deeply personal to me. I have been praying for God to give me new dreams - to open my heart up to possibilities of good and joy again. It's ok to let go of what we thought it all would be and step bravely into what it's going to be when we trust.

  20. a.... 0....

    Ty...for very encouraging song...💝💝 frm...India

  21. M.... H....

    One stopped when she heard him say "Education is your goal now..."
    One stopped when she heard him say "I'm leaving your mother for good now..."
    One stopped when her dog ran away and one stopped when he got hit by a car...
    One stopped when she didn't get Hall of Fame or win that beauty pageant
    One stopped when she heard him say "I don't love you anymore"

    M.... H....

    You are loved. Jesus never leaves you.
    Dream again

  22. p.... s....

    Dream again

  23. G.... G....

    My dream was that you would go and smell my favourite perfume. It means the world to me. Open your eyes. My desire counts to.

  24. E.... l....

    am totally blessed matthew, i lost a scholarship to study medicine in pakistan and i repeat a year in medical school. l was about to give up when i heard this song. But am gonna dream again

  25. E.... l....

    am totally blessed matthew, i lost a scholarship to study medicine in pakistan and i repeat a year in medical school. l was about to give up when i heard this song. But am gonna dream again

  26. K.... W....

    I love this song. It was uploaded 8 days exactly before my surrogate sister was murdered. After a breakup with a narcissist, I'm dreaming of a better life again 💓💔

  27. K.... E....

    After failing the boards I will surely dream again ❤

  28. G.... c....

    I'll not give up. I'll dream again and with my God on my side everything he has purposed in my life shall come to pass in Jesus name.

  29. T.... G....

    The Bible says in Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.
    Salvation is in faith, but we must first realize that we're lost sinners and will die and burn in hell for eternity without Christ, once we see ourselves, all one needs to do is repent of their sins, and put their faith in God: believing with all their heart that He will forgive every sin. And asking Him to save their soul from hell with all faith and all sincerity! Believe in God and He will save you today.

  30. A.... L....

THANK YOU Matthew West for helping me see God has a beautiful plan for me!

    Thank you! This is something I had to learn. After being abused repeatedly my whole life & watching my marriage die because he was only worried about his personal pleasures in life. It took 2 new friends from Ireland saying enough you're better then all that for me to finally see what others were trying to tell me for years.

  82. M.... R....

    I stopped after being raped and abused and abandoned and the last straw was being told the one dream I had left was gone that dream was having a baby but then I heard this song and I dared to dream again my dreams may change but I can dream! Again thanks to God I know that maybe I wasn't meant to be a mother but I am a God mother a aunt and a sister then again maybe I wasn't meant to birth a child but to adopt one we will see what He has in store

    M.... R....

    Miss Roo God bless you

    M.... R....

    Just last night I was crying out to God for my son. I said, "You gave him to me to be my son and I love him so much! I love him the same as if he had been born from my body." Then He replied, "No, you don't. Because you know the agony of being unable to bear children biologically, you love him even more dearly." I sat in stunned silence for a moment and realized it was true. Adoption is a wonderful, beautiful thing and I wouldn't trade my kids for ANYTHING...not even children I gave birth to. (I haven't ever given birth, just wouldn't trade them even if God gave me the choice.) 😊

    M.... R....

    Jesus is holding your hand, Jesus cries with you and catches every tear. You are beloved

    M.... R....

    Nothing is impossible for the Lord

    Jesus is really working. This REALLY helped me get back to preaching the gospel, and believing that God has a plan and purpose for me again. Thank you Lord. And for whoever is reading this, YOUR life isnt over. We can't turn back the time of before we made that mistake that left us a million miles away, but We can still turn around in Jesus' Name. We're just one step away from surrender and His hands are always wide open for you to start again! Christ loves you all very dearly and have a nice day!
