Maysa – Inside My Dream Lyrics

Pop

Oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Oh-oh, oh

It's 5 a.m. and I've been awakened
By a story my mind is telling my heart
It's sayingm "Baby, don't you worry" (don't you worry)
"You never have to fear" (never have to fear, babe)
It's telling me to rest my weary soul
And let my spirit heal

It's giving me another lesson, ah-ah
How to keep my faith alive
To get the world I want to see
I just need to close my eyes

When I close my eyes at night
I enter another world, oh-oh, yeah
Where my fantasy becomes my reality (my reality)
A place I never ever want to leave (never wanna leave)
I just wanna live inside my dream

Ha, ha, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, ha, ha, ha, oh-oh, oh
Ha

It's 3 a.m. and my soul's been awakened
By a story, my mind is telling my heart, yeah
It's saying, "Baby don't you worry (don't you worry)
You never have to fear" (you never have to fear)
It's telling me to rest my weary soul (weary soul)
And let my spirit heal (heal)

It's giving me another lesson (another lesson)
How to keep my faith alive
To get the world I wanna see
All I need to do is close my eyes

When I close my eyes at night
I enter another world (I close my eyes)
Where my fantasy becomes my reality (my reality)
A place I never ever (never ever) want to leave
I just wanna live inside my dreams

My fantasies are my deep inner thoughts (I just wanna live it)
I know that the key's to really let go
And the things I desire are all in my mind
I realize my fears, they will all come in time

When I close my eyes at night
I enter another world
Where my fantasy becomes my reality (my reality)
A place I never ever want to leave (I don't wanna leave)
I just wanna live inside my dream

I want my fantasy to be my reality
My dreams
All I gotta do is close my eyes and dream
A place I never ever (I never ever wanna leave) have to leave
I just wanna live inside my dream, yeah-yeah, yeah
Ha, ha, ha, inside my dream

About This Song

"Inside My Dream" is a soulful meditation on finding refuge and healing through the power of imagination and faith during difficult times. Maysa's tender vocals convey the vulnerability of someone seeking comfort at vulnerable hours (5 AM, 3 AM), where dreams become a sanctuary from life's struggles and disappointments. The song explores themes of spiritual restoration and the necessity of hope, with lyrics that frame dreaming not as escapism but as a vital practice for maintaining faith and envisioning a better reality. Musically, it features Maysa's signature smooth R&B style with gentle instrumentation that mirrors the intimate, contemplative mood of late-night reflection. The track stands out for its honest portrayal of how we use our inner worlds to heal and sustain ourselves when external circumstances feel overwhelming.
