A Million Dreams - The Greatest Showman

This must be the hit song in 'The Greatest Showman'. I've seen how people go 'crazy' over this and undeniably, it's a beautiful song. :) If you have not heard it yet, do have a listen (it starts around the 3:30 mark). It's really a song that's full of hope.

I close my eyes and I can see
The world that's waiting up for me
That I call my own
Through the dark, through the door
Through where no one's been before
But it feels like home

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say I've lost my mind
I don't care, I don't care, so call me crazy
We can live in a world that we design

'Cause every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make

There's a house we can build
Every room inside is filled
With things from far away
The special things I compile
Each one there to make you smile
On a rainy day

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say we've lost our minds
I don't care, I don't care if they call us crazy
Runaway to a world that we design

Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make

However big, however small
Let me be part of it all
Share your dreams with me
You may be right, you may be wrong
But say that you'll bring me along
To the world you see
To the world I close my eyes to see
I close my eyes to see

Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
A million dreams, a million dreams
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make

For the world we're gonna make

When it comes to movies, I love the part where they 'fast forward' the journey of the protagonist, especially with a song on top of it. A famous example I could think of would be how Simba grew from a cub to a lion in 'Lion King' (Hakuna Matata). In 'The Greatest Showman', it shows what P. T. Barnum had to go through while growing up, and finally winning the hand of Charity Barnum. When done right, you really feel what the protagonist is feeling, the sense of pride of something achieved.

Here's my chord chart. Page 1 is when the voice of P. T. Barnum was still a boy while page 2 is where he's become a grown man. My preferred app for charting is iReal Pro. It's really convenient for transposing. When playing pop gigs, especially Mandarin/Canto pop, I rely on forScore.
