Song Meaning of “Flight of a Dream” by Joe Bongiorno
“Flight of a Dream” tells a story of embracing a newfound freedom and allowing yourself to take the journey of a lifetime. The lyrics paint the vivid imagery of a seeker longing to be lifted by the wings of his dreams, to have both his body and spirit lifted high into the clouds as he follows his heart and embarks on his journey of self-exploration.
The narrator’s spirited journey acknowledges that society’s standards of normality often trap us, preventing us from living life to its fullest potential. By metaphorically taking to the air, the narrator is implying that it is up to the individual to fly high, taking the risks to reach their destiny. There is a hint of sadness as the narrator realizes that he’s made a choice to move away from the ground, leaving behind familiar sights and comforts for something unknown. Yet it is also a moment of euphoria and enthusiasm as they snatch a taste of freedom and life’s possibilities.
The song speaks of the courage required to leave the ordinary life, and urges the listener to take on that challenge, to take the risk and expose themselves to the unknown aspects of life. It makes clear that there is a vast beautiful world out there for us to explore and seek both physical and emotional growth. To reach such heights, the song reassures us, we must be brave and take flight.
