John Denver - On The Wings Of A Dream lyrics

ON THE WINGS OF A DREAM

Yesterday I had a dream about dying, about laying to

Rest and then flying,

How the moment at hand is the only

Thing we really own.

And I lay in my bed and I wondered, after all has been

Said and is done for,

Why is it thus we are here and so

Soon we are gone?

Is this life just a path to the place that

We all have come from?

Does the heart know the way and if not,

Can it ever be found

In a smile or a tear or a prayer

Or a sigh or a song?

And if so, then I sing for my father, and in truth, you

Must know I would rather

He were here by my side, we could fly on the

Wings of a dream.

To a place where the spirit would find us and the joy and

Surrender would bind us.

We are one anyway, anyway we are more

Than we seem.

There are those who will lead us, protect us

Each step of the way.

From beginning to end, for each moment,

Forever, each day.

Such a gift has been given, it can

Never be taken away.

Though the body in passing must leave us, there is one who

Remains to receive us.

There are those in this life who are friends

From our heavenly home.

So I listen to the voices inside me, for I know they

Are there just to guide me.

And my faith will proclaim it is so,

We are never alone.

From the life to the light, from the dark of

The night to the dawn,

He is so in my heart, he is here, he

Could never be gone.

Though the singer is silent, there still is the

Truth of the song, in the song.

Yesterday I had a dream about dying, about laying to

Rest and then flying,

How the moment at hand is the only

Thing we really own.

And I lay in my bed and I wondered, after all has been

Said and is done for,

Why is it thus we are here and so

Soon we are gone?

Oh, why is it thus we are here and so

Soon we are gone?
