More Than a Dream

Harrison Craig's 'More Than a Dream' is a powerful anthem of resilience and love. The song's lyrics tell the story of someone who has faced numerous challenges and obstacles but has found strength and solace in the presence of a loved one. The opening lines, 'I'm not one to run away / Throw anything in front of me,' set the tone for a narrative of determination and courage. The protagonist has lived 'a thousand lives in melodies,' suggesting that music has been a significant source of comfort and expression throughout their journey.

The recurring theme of tearing down walls symbolizes overcoming personal barriers and fears. The lines 'I never thought / Never believed, never could see / The walls were bigger than me / But I tore them down' highlight the protagonist's realization of their own strength and the transformative power of love. The 'walls' represent the emotional and psychological obstacles that once seemed insurmountable but were ultimately conquered with the support of their 'saving grace.'

The imagery of sailing 'into the blue beyond the grey' evokes a sense of hope and a quest for better days. The protagonist's journey is not just about personal growth but also about finding and reconnecting with their loved one. The song's climax, where the protagonist declares, 'I've made up my mind / It's about time / Will be your eyes tonight,' signifies a moment of resolution and commitment. The phrase 'more than a dream' encapsulates the idea that their love and achievements are not just fantasies but tangible realities forged through perseverance and mutual support.
