Shining in the silver moon,
Crystal ships are sailing to the sea.
Dreams the joys of pearls and gold,
And our angel’s wings in flight unfold.

Fly, fly by my window,
Flyin’ so free, yeah.
Yes, they fly, fly by my window.
Yes, those bright diamonds a-once were stone,
Rollin’ down a silver stream.
Yes, those bright diamonds a-once were stone.

Sail on a silver wings of fire,
Sailing dreams beyond the silver moon.
In silver clouds that fly so high,
Live the dreams you search,
But can’t find.

About Lyrics and Daydream by Journey

When you decide to study the lyrics to Daydream, you're looking at the words, verses and background chorus from the 1979 song by Journey. Some of the lyrics to Daydream have clear meanings and some contain metaphorical references. Like most songs, only Journey and their collaborators know the full story behind any of the their songs.

You can understand the lyrics to Daydream if you take apart the structure of the words. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Daydream" means the words set to the music of Daydream, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Journey. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Daydream and the lyrics to Daydream are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Journey who came here looking just for the lyrics to Daydream, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
