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

Oooh oooh ooh oooh ooh

Oooh oooh ooh oooh ooh

Oooh oooh ooh oooh ooh

Oooh oooh ooh oooh ooh

Oooh oooh ooh oooh ooh

Oooh oooh ooh oooh ooh

Oooh oooh ooh oooh ooh

Oooh oooh ooh oooh ooh

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 wing

I had a dream
