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.
