  • Save some time to dream
    Save some time for yourself
    Don't let your time slip away
    Or be stolen by somebody else
    Save some time for those you love
    For they'll remember what you gave
    Save some time for the songs you sing
    And the music that you've made

    Could it be that this is all there is?
    Could it be there's nothing more at all?
    Save some time to dream
    Cause your dream could save us all

    Save some time for sorrow
    Cause it will surely come your way
    Prepare yourself for failure
    It will give you strength some day
    Try to keep your mind open
    And accept your mistakes
    Save some time for living
    And always question your faith

    Could it be that this is all there is?
    Could it be there's nothing more at all?
    Save some time to dream
    Cause your dream might save us all

    Cast your eyes up to heaven
    Oh what does that mean to you
    Try not to be too judgmental
    So others will not judge you
    Save some time to think
    Oh before you speak your mind
    Many will not understand
    And to them you must to be kind

    Could it be that this is all there is?
    Could it be there's nothing more at all?
    Save some time to dream
    Cause your dream might save us all

    Oh yeah
    Your dream might save us all Writer/s: JOHN MELLENCAMP

  • Leo from Westminster 1, MdHey Tabby Cat Mellencamp! Save Some Time to Dream is a beautiful Heartland rock ballad with a hopeful message. Kind of like The Authority Song at a slower tempo and pace but the same Fighting Spirit. Always be brave and Rock Hard Johnny Rebel! Let's always be free because This Is What America Can and Will Be! Meow My Friend John!
