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.
