Closer Lyrics


Closer to my dreams
Coming over me
I'm gettin' higher
Closer to my dreams
I'm getting higher and higherFeel it in my sleep
Sometimes it feels like I'll never go past here
Sometimes it feels like I'm stuck forever and ever
When I'm going higherCloser to my dreams
I'm goin' higher and higher
I ain't gonna sleep
Some times you just have to let it go
(Let it go, let it go)
Leaving all my fears to burn down
Push them all away so I can move onCloser to my dreams
Feel it all over my being
Close your eyes and see what you believeIm moving higher, oh
(Higher)
Im going higher and higher and higher

(Higher and higher)
Closer to my dreams
(Higher and higher, oh oh)
Im moving upward and onward and beyond all I can see
(Stretching out my arms, so I can breathe)Feels so close it's like I can just reach
I can feel my dreams
(Closer to my dreams)
I'm moving closer to my dreamsSome times it feels like you never gon' change
(Never gon' change)
But you never choose to walk away

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

She was born to a Jewish mother, Noa, and an African father, Douglas Mohlabane, who was a South African political exile. They married in Nairobi, Kenya.

Goapele attended the Berkeley Arts Magnet School in Berkeley, California. During these years, she joined several groups that fought racism and sexism. She also sang in the Oakland Youth Choir and joined a group called Vocal Motion. After graduating from high school, Goapele attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, where she studied music theory.

In 2001, she signed with Skyblaze Recordings/Columbia Records, and in 2002, she released her first album Even Closer, featuring the single "Closer". She co-wrote and co-produced the entire album, which is a mixture of neo soul and jazz. She also toured North America with band Spearhead.
