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
