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 houseguest 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 Im old and feeling great.
I don't know what's left
to say about this life
I'm willing to leave.
I lived it full and lived well,
there's many tales I've 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.
