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

oh...
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
