Seger was singing words I could believe in
And "Main Street" was my street that night
So I called up Samantha and asked her the
Chance of us
Running out 'neaththe moonlight
Well, she's not with me now, she can always
Be found
When I rewind the radio dial
And like it was then I feel her on my skin
And I'm back there for awhile [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/d/david_nail/the_sound_of_a_million_dreams.html ]
Chorus:
So I labor for hours 'cause I know the power
Of a song when when a song hits you right
Pouring my soul into stories of life
Hoping someone'll hear one tonight
Maybe my voice will cut through the noise
And stir up an old memory
And out of these piano keys
Comes the sound, the sound of a million dreams
My 18th summer I was a cocky up-and-comer,
Cranking up "Born to Run"
Turned left out the drive with the pistons
Open wide
And I came back a Prodigal Son
My spirit was broken, she threw the door open
I love you not, I told you so
When I hear "Mama Tried" I still break down
And cry
And pull to the side of the road
This song gives me goosebumps every time as well. It did the first time and the many many times i've listened to it since then. Thank you david for this wonderful song. You definitely know how to make a song hit me right. I wish i had enough talent to spread the power like the power there is in this song.

David is describing his purpose for pouring everything he has into creating the perfect song because he knows the beauty of being able to connect with a song in such a way that it moves you from deep within. It connects with your deepest dreams and emotions... If he can labor in vain to create this song for millions of dreamers, his songs will be the sound of a million dreams...

Talk about a song hitting you right. This song gives me goosebumps just thinking of the power of music and the care that he obviously has put into his.

Mama tried is a song by merle haggard... I turned twenty one in prison doing life without parol... No one could raise me right but mama tried... That leaves only me to blame cause mama tried...

Out of all the tragedies in this world -music can cleanse the soul and provide calm for 3 minutes.
