Big Dreams is the songburst in Summer of Tater, sung by Tater and Nellie Ramirez Humphrey. In this song, Tater explains her big dreams she has planned for the summer, while Nellie tries to bring her down to reality.
Tater: The summer's arrived, but something's still wrong
It's time to dream big, write a list, get going
'Cause now it's my time
whatever I dream, Imma make it mine,
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) Nellie: I hate to rain down on your little parade,
But what you're talking 'bout ain't reality Tater:Ugh!
That's where you're wrong;
All I gotta do is believe in me
Yeah, yeah, yeah Nellie:What? Tater: I could learn French! Nellie: But you never liked school! Tater: I'll have style and poise. Nellie: But you never look cool. Tater:Shh!
I can just imagine it
and that's halfway to happening
so why don't you stop babbling?
There's no rattling me and
I don't need a plane to fly or a car for speed! Nellie: Um, actually, that's exactly what you need. Tater: I could be a star or a great athlete Nellie: You're forgetting who you are, you got two left feet. Tater:You'll see.
All I need is my big dreams and I'll make 'em true. Nellie:Keep dreaming, sis. Tater: And I don't need nobody telling me what I can't do. Nellie:Too much to even make a list.
Oye! Dreaming is for when you're sleeping,
So wake up and listen to reason! Tater: All I need is my big dreams...
And time away from you!
