My kids are so over their High School Musical DVDs.

For two months now, their musical of choice has been Mamma Mia! which stars  Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan and the lovely Amanda Seyfried, who plays  Sophie. Most of the time,  though, they doze off  sometime after Super Trouper. It’s little wonder then, that they are partial to songs that are sung by Sophie, who appears early on in the movie. Chelsea likes the opening song, I Have A Dream, while Wade digs Honey Honey. The ABBA songs are so catchy that I’ve been frequently caught humming them of late. As for me, the men’s Our Last Summer never fails to strike a poignant chord.

Below are the lyrics to Chelsea’s favorite song:

I have a dream
A song to sing
To help me cope
With anything
If you see the wonder
Of a fairy tale
You can take the future
Even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I’ll cross the stream
I have a dream

I have a dream
A fantasy
To help me through
Reality
And my destination
Makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness
Still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I’ll cross the stream
I have a dream.
