Priscilla Ahn - Dream

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 gray 
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 swing

I had a dream
