Les Miserables - I Dreamed A Dream
I dreamed a dream in times gone by... an improvisation.
We were never meant to be too comfortable in this tent dwelling, and even while dwelling on this side of eternity, we are called to come away - to dwell in His presence... Heaven on earth. Eagerly awaiting the release of the new album by Jesus Culture "Come Away" By the way,
Win a copy of Jesus Culture's upcoming album, Come Away, out Nov. 23. Info at: http://JCw.bz/contest
The song "I dreamed a dream" (recently revived by Susan Boyle) is surely the saddest song ever written or sung. Sad. Tragic. Emotional. It captures the human heart, broken, disillusioned, discouraged, lonely... Often people are crying, tears flowing down their faces because this is the song of their lives. Can there be a happy ending to the heartbreak?
In this video we follow the story of a balloon. A bad romance. The story of our dreams of love that get crushed by life until we meet the LOVE OF OUR LIVES! Then all dreams come true! We are dreamers. Do you remember Phantom of the opera and all the dreams inside my head? Many songs are sung about the dreams we dream. Immediately coming to mind: Celine Dion Maybe I dream too much, Miley Cyrus That dream Im dreaming..., Britney Spears I dream of him... and Sting I dream of rain, I dream of gardens in the desert sand, I wake in pain... Many songs tell the sad story of how dreams end in pain: Evanescence: I dream in darkness I sleep to die... and Lindsay Lohan: I dream of another you, one who would never, never leave me alone... Disillusioned, sad: Such a lonely world, when I close my eyes I dream... (Groove Coverage ~ 7 Years & 50 Days). Many are cynically hopeless like the family guy episode: "I Dream of Jesus". What happened to your dream?

I dreamed a dream is my favorite song from the spectacular musical Les Miserables. It was sung by Elaine Paige, Judy Kuhn, Lea Salonga, Michael Ball, Aretha Franklin, Patti LuPone and brilliantly by Susan Boyle on Britains got talent. My father got this idea. He lives in California and we in Ukraine. Over the Atlantic we worked on this video with him via email and skype. This was the result of our cooperation.
LYRICS:
There was a time when life was kind
When voices were soft and inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
Then it all went wrong

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
And they turn your dream to shame

She spent a summer by my side
She filled my days with endless wonder
She took my childhood in her stride
But she was gone when autumn came

And still I dream she'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.

I believe that there will dawn a bright new day
I'll forget the scattered dreams I wasted
I found a love that will never die
Now I know that God is still forgiving
Today I am old yet unafraid
I know the ransom once was fully paid
To save me from this hell I'm living
All is different now from what it seemed
Now I am found:
The dream He dreamed
