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 houseguests 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 grey 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'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
