Take a look around now
   Change the direction
   Adjust the tuning
   Try a new translation
   Don't look at your man in the same old way
   Take a new picture
   Just because you don't see shooting stars
   Doesn't mean it isn't perfect
   can't you see...
  
   It's the stuff that dreams are made of
   It's the slow and steady fire
   It's the stuff that dreams are made of
   It's your heart and soul's desire
   It's the stuff that dreams are made of
  
   So what's this about your best friend?
   She's got a brand new shiny boy
   And they're moving out to Malibu
   To play with all his pretty toys
   And you feel closed in by the same four walls
   The same old conversation
   With the same old guy you've know for years
   But use your imagination
   And you will see....
  
   It's the stuff that dreams are made of
   It's the slow and steady fire
   It's the stuff that dreams are made of
   It's your heart and soul's desire
   It's the stuff that dreams are made of
  
   What if the Prince on the horse in your fairytale
   Is right here in disguise
   And what if the stars you've been reaching so high for
   Are shining in his eyes
  
   Don't look at yourself in the same old way
   Take another picture
   Shoot the stars off in your own backyard
   Don't look any further
   And you will see
   It's the stuff that dreams are made of....
