    I wrote this song at a time in my life when things were pretty beautiful, I was living in a house surrounded by a pasture full of longhorn, I was raising butterflies and a baby deer. I would travel back and forth between LA, Maui and Nashville pursuing my souls passions. I had a record and a publishing deal, everything I had been working for my whole life was coming into fruition. I felt the need to write a song called ‘daydream’ that wasn’t about love or heartbreak, I wanted something meaningful and inspiring…something that would encourage other young people to listen to their heart. After a few hours with Mags Duval and Casey Brown, Daydream was born..
    Then the unexpected happened, my mom was diagnosed with cancer and my life twisted upside down. I lost my record deal and my confidence. I developed an extreme case of anxiety. My main focus was my mom, and naturally nothing else seemed to matter… After a fierce fight with vast ups and downs, my mom passed away. In that moment, not only did I lose my mom, I lost my best friend and number one cheerleader. I found myself falling into a depression, the grief and sadness took over me... Now after battling this heartbreak, I feel like I wrote this song for my future self, to re-inspire me to never quit my daydream. -lily

    LILY: I'm a 78-year-old, semi retired university professor, whose "daydream" involves a whole new career toward the end of my life. It has been opposed and mocked and scorned and ridiculed, and otherwise severely criticized off and on for several years now, but I have never been more convinced and deeply satisfied with this new calling.
    When I heard you first sing this song on America's Got Talent, it grabbed ahold of me by the roots, and became my anthem for continuing to struggle to do what God has called me to do. And yes, it scares the hell out of me every day, but I have never felt so alive.
    I love who you are Lily Meola, and who you are becoming. Stay grounded, Butterfly, but fly nonetheless. You are a treasure.

Brilliantly lifting, exquisitely performed and is a song that will likely endure a significant span of time, unlike the disposable tripe currently being passed off as music.

    Wow! Same thing happened to me back in 2001. I had just released my first CD and had the first tour planned.
    Found out about 30 days before the start of the tour that my Mom had terminal cancer with only maybe 9 months left.
    I couldn't leave her. My Dad and Mom made sure we had everything we needed when we were growing up and I was not about to leave her and be somewhere criss crossing the states. I cancelled the tour and spent the time she had left with her and my brother. After she passed . . . I had no desire to even play music for awhile. I needed the time to let my heart heal.
    Eventually I did return to the stage and resume my career but I never regretted my decision.

    Here I am 31 years old. Singing this song after nothing but heartache this past year and a half. I had to shut down my business that started becoming very successful due to a bad landlord. The day after shutting my doors my mom found out she's terminally ill. She's a legitimate angel who has done no wrong in life. She became mom to many people. 😭😭😭😭 This song gets me man. I'm not giving up on my daydream. I can't.

    When we were kids in the backyard
    Playing astronauts and rockstars
    No one told us to stop it
    Called us unrealistic
    Then suddenly, you're eighteen
    Go to college for your plan "B"
    What you want is too risky
    Live for weekends and whiskey
    We all got these big ideas
    One day, they're replaced with fears
    How did we get here?
    Darlin', don't quit your daydream
    It's your life that you're making
    It ain't big enough if it doesn't scare the hell out of you
    If it makes you nervous
    It's probably worth it
    Why save it for sleep when you could be living your daydream?
    Thirty-one, waiting tables
    She has a voice of an angel
    Out of money and power
    She only sings in the shower
    All these things we say we'll get to
    Shot down by the reasons not to
    Darlin', don't quit your daydream
    It's your life that you're making
    It ain't big enough if it doesn't scare the hell out of you
    If it makes you nervous
    It's probably worth it
    Why save it for sleep when you could be living your daydream?
    So scared of failure that we fail to try
    Turnin' around before the finish line
    Gotta fall for a minute before you can fly
    So daydream
    It's your life that you're making
    It ain't big enough if it doesn't scare the hell out of you
    If it makes you nervous
    It's probably worth it
    Why save it for sleep when you could be living your daydream?
    Why save it for sleep when you should be living your daydream?

Thank you for making this song and thank you for giving me that final push that I needed.

About six months ago I was surprised to be offered my first paying gig thinking it would be the one and only but, that has turned into a steady two or three gigs per week. This song got me in all the feels and I had to dry my eyes several times! Amazing in it’s beauty and simplicity, it was perfect for me at the moment! Thank you!!!

    I'm 45 years old and totally love this song. I lived my daydream (even for a short time). I went back to school at age 24 even though everyone was laughing at me and didn't think that would finish. In May 2009, I graduated with a Master’s Degree in criminal justice. I got to be a probation officer and eventually a law enforcement officer working in the Youth crime victim department. It was short lived daydream due to a car accident in 2013 and couldn't work anymore. Besides having my daughter (who is now an EMT at 28 yrs old living her daydream), that short stint was the happiest I was. So ANYONE out there, it's never too late to live your daydream.

Emphysema in the other... i wish she'd had the lung with cancer removed.. we could have dealt with the Emphysema .. but the standard treatment was her choice and it didn't work for her ... Radiation, Chemo and a trial drug took her way too soon... her sister had one lung and 3 ribs removed years earlier and lived another 10 yrs.. Until Emphysema took her... as it did their other sister... when i had my Health Food Store i was able to help a lady with Emphysema to get well... diet plays a major part... i know mum is in a better place now.. No more tears, death, pain or sickness for her in Heaven.. dad joined her just before Covid hit our Aussie Shores together at last.. mum passed the day after their 55th anniversary.. 🥲
      They're always in our heart and thoughts... the pain does subside but they're always part of us and with us... a bit like Yashua (Jesus) who promises never to leave or forsake us.. always there...
      May the pain you feel be replaced with a heart full of peace... 🙏

    Who's here after watching her audition? I think AGT is really helping us to reach more talents and great singers like you Lily. Your song has the power to wake people from any failures and depression they are going through. Thanks for singing for us!!! Much love

    This song touches my heart! Its So Relatable! If it touches your heart, Then Listen Up! You need to Figure it out! It's telling you to believe in how you feel trust yourself. I'll say that at 55- I wish I would have been more fearless. After the moment passes the opportunity is lost.. The fear you are feeling is being caused by someone else who's trying to tell you how to Live your Life! TRUST Yourself!!!!!
    I truly believe that WE fear doing the things that SEEMS TO PuL Towards Our Soul because there is Normally SOMEONE TRYING TO TELL YOU HOW TO LIVE YOUR LIFE. IF ITS HONORABLE THAN DO NOT ALLOW SOMEONE ELSES FEAR TO CAUSE YOU SURRENDER YOUR OWN WILL! NEVER LET FEAR NOE ANOTHER LIVE YOUR LIFE. GOD BLESS THE DREAMERS! Always Remember that With Respect & gracious spirit your life is yours to be lived. Keep Love in your heart

    As someone who today was told multiple times that I need to be realistic in my dreams, perfect timing to come across this song, as I am days away from beginning my journey to achieve my dreams. I am more and more convinced that a God does exist, or in the least Fate does, or something with a plan.

    Hey Lily, my mom just passed away in April from cancer. It’s been the hardest time in my life, but your music made me feel something special. I know you can reach the stars and I hope the absolute best for you.
