and here are the words
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
Wendy, this song reminded me of your wonderful mother. I didn't know her before she was sick, but I can see her asking God what He wanted her to do with the body that she'd been given, and then quietly and peacefully submitting to His will. She lived a full life and then felt it was the right time.
I hope to have this peace and confidence in my heart.
Thanks Anna. I love love love it. Can't wait to learn it. I miss her, but she lived well beyond what anyone could expect of her. How proud I will ever be of her.
