“Dreams Go Far”

One of the things I wanted to do with this podcast was showcase music written for the book.
I finally got around to recording “Dreams Go Far,” the song Aurora writes and sings for Logan when he’s going through a rough time (sick, weak, imprisoned) in The Thirteenth Hour. I’ll talk more about its creation next week, but for now, the lyrics and guitar chords are below (visit the audio page to download them on a handy one-page sheet) and the song is above.
C Cadd9 Fmaj7
Where are you now?
Am C G
Won’t you tell me what you’re thinking?
C Am C (Cadd9) G
I’ve been there; no resting for the weary.
Am Dm Am
But in the end, hold true.
C (Cadd9)
For the best is yet to
Am C
Happen to you …
C Cadd9 Fmaj7
Sometimes – it’s hard,
Am C G
To keep your head up high.
C Am C G
You walk alone, feeling cold and scared inside.
Am C Am C Am Em
So close your eyes, open up your mind.
Am C Am
For it’s when you listen that you hear
C Cmaj7 Cadd9 C
All there is inside.
C Cadd9 F
‘Cause dreams go far,
Am C G
No matter where you are.
Am C
If you wish for me, I’ll wish for you,
F C
And we’ll make our dreams come true.
C Am
Long ago –
C Am G
Could you guess this is where you’d be now?
C Am C Am (Cmaj7) G
Yes, I know, it’s hard to watch your world unfold.
Am C Am
But on this long, winding road,
C Am Em Am C
How you think you are is what will come true.
Am C Am C Cmaj7 Cadd9 C
For it’s when you look that see all that you can do.
C Cadd9 F
‘Cause dreams go far,
Am C G
No matter who you are.
Am C
If you wish for me, I’ll wish for you,
F C
And we’ll make our dreams come true.
C Cadd9 F
‘Cause dreams go far,
Am C G
No matter how you are.
Am C
If you’ll believe in me, I’ll believe in you,
F C
And we’ll make our dreams come true.
