The lyrics have great meaning too.
"I Dream a Dream" - Lyrics
There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
Then it all went wrong
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
And they turn your dream to shame
He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came
And still I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
Susan Boyle, 48, from West Lothian stunned the judges on Britain's Got Talent singing 'I Dream A Dream' from Les Miserables.

Susan’s Dream
1.
In spring of ’61 God made a deal,
That Susan’s star will remain concealed,
When sun and moon eclipsed on April 1st,
He told Aries “fame is a curse”
2.
Let her live her life until forty-seven,
Let her care for her folks ‘till they go to heaven,
She’s an evening star, she will show her hand,
In the fall of her life she’ll become a brand,
Chorus
‘cause she
Dreamed a dream of times to come,
She’s our Cinderella-girl
Never judge a book by its cover,
Never kissed a boy, now the world’s her lover
She’s the queen of kind, she’s so divine
She’s our Cinderella-girl
3.
In the spring of ’09 God made a deal,
That Susan’s star may be revealed,
When sun and moon eclipsed on April 11,
Susan dreamed a dream at forty-seven,
4.
The girl from the village is the “real deal”,
Her secret talent is now revealed,
She’s the queen of kind, she won us completely
Who cares for make-up, she’s got inner beauty,
Chorus
‘cause she
Dreamed a dream of times to come,
She’s our Cinderella-girl
Never judge a book by its cover,
Never kissed a boy, now the world’s her lover
She’s the queen of kind, she’s so divine
She’s our Cinderella-girl
5.
In Spring of ’09 God made a plea,
to stop our prejudice, to make us free,
when sun and moon eclipsed on April 11,
The world created Susan’s heaven
