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 feed my house guest bark and leaves and laughed in my pretty bed of greens.

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 suppose to be

the stars smiled down at me,

God answered in silent reverie

I said a prayer and fell asleep.

i had a dream

that i could fly

from the highest swing

i had a dream.

now i'm old and feeling grey,

and i don't know what to say,

about this life I'm willing to leave,

I lived it full, I lived it well,

as many tales i live to tell

i'm ready now, i'm ready now,

to fly from the highest wing....

i had a dream.
