Dream - Priscilla Ahn

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
