The accompanying music video for "Let the Dream Come True" was directed by Frank Paul Husmann-Labusga.[3] It was filmed in New York. In the video, we follow a story about an unemployed mother and her little son. In a shop in the city that has a vacancy, the mother goes in while the boy waits outside. But when she comes out again, the boy is gone. He has lost his way in the big city, but is found by a man in a limousine. While the mother walks around the city, desperately looking for her son, the two drives around looking for her. At a park, they get out of the limousine and walks into the park. They stop by at a performance. There the boy sees his mother in the audience and runs into her arms. Radiant with joy, they look at the man smiling at them before the video ends. In between this story, DJ BoBo performs the song with his dancer in and around an empty old factory building. The video was A-listed on Germany's VIVA in November 1994.[4] Husmann-Labusga would also go on directing the videos for "Freedom" and "There Is a Party".
