    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?

    the context is:

    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.
