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
