Positive thinking, faith and believing in your dream

Title: A Million Dreams
Composer: Ben Pasek & Justin Paul
Arranger: Sandra Zylstra

I play the piano at Mayo Hospital every Tuesday morning, and sometimes the employees ask me if I could play their favorites. That's why I bought the sheet music for this song and started playing it. This is an ode to the power of positive thinking, faith and believing in your dream. It is from "The Greatest Showman" and is a way to let the employees know that I'm so grateful for them. A few weeks later another employee said, "Oh, I heard you play 'A Million Dreams' and that's my favorite." So I'm hoping that there are others who enjoy it too.

Lyrics:
I close my eyes and I can see
A 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

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

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

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
