Dream

I was a little girl

Alone in my little world

Who dreamed of a little home for me

I played pretend between the trees

And fed my house guests bark and leaves

And laughed in my pretty bed of green

I had a dream

That I could fly from the highest swing

I had a dream

Long walks in the dark through woods grown behind the park

I asked God who I'm supposed to be

The stars smiled down on me

God answered in silent reverie

I said a prayer and fell asleep

I had a dream

That I could fly from the highest tree

I had a dream

Now I'm old and feeling gray

I don't know what's left to say about this life I'm willing to leave

I lived it full and I lived it well

There's many tales I lived to tell

I'm ready now, I'm ready now

I'm ready now to fly from the highest wing

I had a dream
