Dreaming My Way Out

[Verse 1]
When reality became unbearable, I closed my eyes
Started dreaming of a different life, a different sky
Where I wasn't sleeping twelve hours, where I loved who I'd become
I dreamed my way out - I dreamed until the darkness was done
I visualized the version of me that I wanted to be
I dreamed so vividly that he started to feel real to me
The man who walks ten miles, who works until three AM
I dreamed my way out - I dreamed myself to freedom
[Pre-Hook]
Depression tried to keep me trapped in what is
But dreaming let me escape to what could exist
I built a vision so bright it pulled me toward the light
I dreamed my way out - I dreamed with all my might
[Hook]
I dreamed my way out of depression's grip
I dreamed a better life, then I took the trip
From imagination to manifestation, from the mind to the real
I dreamed my way out - that's how I started to heal
When I couldn't change my present, I changed my future first
I dreamed my way out - I quenched my thirst
For something more, for something better, for a reason to fight
I dreamed my way out - from darkness into light
[Verse 2]
Every night before I slept, I'd dream of waking up refreshed
Not hitting snooze twenty times, not feeling so depressed
I'd dream of loving my reflection, of having energy to burn
I dreamed my way out - I gave my mind something to learn
About who I could become if I just made different choices
I'd dream so loudly it drowned out the negative voices
That told me I'd be stuck forever in this miserable state
I dreamed my way out - I dreamed to escape
[Verse 3]
I dreamed of building businesses, of helping thousands succeed
I dreamed of making billions while I'm meeting every need
Of people who are struggling like I was in the dark
I dreamed my way out - my dreams became the spark
That ignited my desire to make the vision real
I dreamed with so much detail I could almost feel
The life I was creating in my mind every single night
I dreamed my way out - my dreams gave me sight
[Bridge]
They say you can't dream your way out of mental health struggles
But I'm proof that dreams can burst your bubbles
Of limitation, of depression, of thinking this is all there is
I dreamed my way out - and now I'm living in the vision I built with my dreaming
The life I'm leading came from believing
That dreams aren't just fantasy - they're blueprints for what could be
I dreamed my way out - my dreams set me free
[Verse 4]
I dreamed of three solid days in a row of productivity
I dreamed of breaking through the chains, of living purposefully
I dreamed until the dreams became more real than my depression
I dreamed my way out - my dreams became my obsession
In the healthiest way, they gave me hope when I had none
They showed me light when all I saw was darkness, showed me I could run
Toward something better if I just started to believe
I dreamed my way out - my dreams helped me achieve
[Verse 5]
Now I'm living in the dream that I dreamed in the darkness
I'm proof that visualization works, that your thoughts can harness
The power to change your reality, to shift your entire state
I dreamed my way out - I didn't wait
For someone to save me, I saved myself with dreams
Of who I could become, of what my life could mean
If I just refused to accept depression as my fate
I dreamed my way out - my dreams were the bait
That lured me from the darkness into the light I'm living in today
[Hook]
I dreamed my way out of depression's grip
I dreamed a better life, then I took the trip
From imagination to manifestation, from the mind to the real
I dreamed my way out - that's how I started to heal
When I couldn't change my present, I changed my future first
I dreamed my way out - I quenched my thirst
For something more, for something better, for a reason to fight
I dreamed my way out - from darkness into light
[Outro]
So if you're stuck in darkness, if depression's got you trapped
Start dreaming of the life you want, get your vision mapped
Out in detail, in color, in emotion, make it real
Dream your way out - that's how you start to heal
It's not a magic cure, but it's a powerful start
Dreams give you hope when depression breaks your heart
They show you possibility when all you see is pain
Dream your way out - break the chain
I dreamed myself free
You can too
Start tonight
Dream your way out of the dark
And step into the light
