Can i say " I would have to be a dreamer to get up and do something right"? i`m not shure if "to get up" make sense in this sentence..

Thank you very much!!
 
Welcome to the board, Levi.

None of it makes sense to me.

What is the context? Where did you read it? What comes before and after?

Thats a song that i need to record but i have doubts in this sentence...

the context is:

I would have to be a daydreamer to get up and do something right
I would have to be a daydreamer to achieve some peace of mind
I would have to be a daydreamer to fall like rain from the sky

Thank you a lot for helping me!!!

There is still not enough to gauge which line will suit your song.

From the three lines:

I would have to be a daydreamer to get up and do something right
you don't need to daydream to do something right
I would have to be a daydreamer to achieve some peace of mind
this also do not need daydreaming
I would have to be a daydreamer to fall like rain from the sky - YESS!!

neither a teacher nor anything to do with music..

maybe some others will give their opinion..
 
neither in a poetic sense? like if i want to say that i dont do nothing right in life, so i need to daydream to feel that i do something right!

do you think this context makes the sentences right??

thank you!!!!
 
Hi juniorlevi

In a 'poetic' sense, 'anything' goes!

However, you have given three lines to choose without a background/backdrop or theme or subject, which is limiting.

like if I want to say that I don't do nothing right in life, so I need to daydream to feel that I do something right!
There is nothing wrong with this sentence.

They make sense to me. I might even add an ironic twist to the first one:
I would have to be a daydreamer to wake up and do something right.
