i'm ready to fly...

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 at 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

oooo....

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, I lived it well
as many tales I live to tell
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now
to fly from the highest wing
I had a dream
