Full Version: Lyrics to Dream Big?
David Cook > David Cook > During American Idol

OK.. if this has been discussed I can't find it...
I love the song Dream Big! I'm a teacher and I think the message in that song is perfect! I'm actually going to put the course on a banner over my whiteboard! (One of my favorite shirts I had in college actually said Dream Big on it - wish I still had it)... anyway I was trying to copy down all of the lyrics too and I think I have it about right but then when I looked them up I'm finding differing versions... I know the one on the show was the short version (with David little flub there on the last course) but that's what I want, since that's the one I listen too... so here's my question... when David is singing does he say "faith is something you can see" or "faith is something you can't see"... this is 50/50 out there I watched my video and I'm leaning to "can see" and I think that is the original lyric.... the second one is does he sing "It takes wild hope to make the stars..." or is it "one hope...." I've always thought he said wild, and somewhere I think it's youtube that's what's listed but most lyric sites say he says one hope... anyone with thoughts that can help? Thanks! - norriski

Here ya go!

When I was a little boy
I swore that I would change the world when I grew up
Nothing else would be enough

I see it everyday
We settled for safe
And lose ourselves along the way

'Coz if you don't dream big what's the use of dreaming
If you don't have faith there's nothing worth believing
It takes one hope to make the stars worth reaching for
So reach out for something more

Took a well perfected plan
For me to finally understand
But it's not me
Faith is something I can see

I've wiped my tears away now it's time for a change
No I can't waste another day

'Coz if you don't dream big what's the use of dreaming
If you don't have faith there's nothing worth believing
It takes one hope to make the stars worth reaching for

'Coz if you don't dream big what's the use of dreaming
If you don't have faith there's nothing worth believing
It takes one hope to make the stars worth reaching for
So reach out for something more



I love the idea of having a banner of this in your class room!

David cut out a few lyrics, I think it was a good edit. Here is the whole song on YouTube.

I knew that he had to do some cuts do to the time limit on the show... Thanks for the link!

Oh and just to add... I do have my banner up right above my white board! I went with just the main part of the chorus, that's all I had room for (let me just say that the only draw back to laser printers is it's now a pain in the BUTT to put together a banner, lots of cutting and matching to get what you want).... I still think I'll take all the lyrics and put them on a paper and hang it somewhere...
