JOHN DENVER - On The Wings Of A Dream lyrics

rate me

On the wings of a dream<br><br>Yesterday I had a dream about dying, about laying to<br>Rest and then flying,<br>How the moment at hand is the only<br>Thing we really own.<br>And I lay in my bed and I wondered, after all has been<br>Said and is done for,<br>Why is it thus we are here and so<br>Soon we are gone? <br>Is this life just a path to the place that<br>We all have come from? <br>Does the heart know the way and if not,<br>Can it ever be found<br>In a smile or a tear or a prayer<br>Or a sigh or a song? <br><br>And if so, then I sing for my father, and in truth, you<br>Must know I would rather<br>He were here by my side, we could fly on the<br>Wings of a dream.<br>To a place where the spirit would find us and the joy and<br>Surrender would bind us.<br>We are one anyway, anyway we are more<br>Than we seem.<br>There are those who will lead us, protect us<br>Each step of the way.<br>From beginning to end, for each moment,<br>Forever, each day.<br>Such a gift has been given, it can<br>Never be taken away.<br><br>Though the body in passing must leave us, there is one who<br>Remains to receive us.<br>There are those in this life who are friends<br>From our heavenly home.<br>So I listen to the voices inside me, for I know they<br>Are there just to guide me.<br>And my faith will proclaim it is so,<br>We are never alone.<br>From the life to the light, from the dark of<br>The night to the dawn,<br>He is so in my heart, he is here, he<br>Could never be gone.<br>Though the singer is silent, there still is the<br>Truth of the song, in the song.<br><br>Yesterday I had a dream about dying, about laying to<br>Rest and then flying,<br>How the moment at hand is the only<br>Thing we really own.<br>And I lay in my bed and I wondered, after all has been<br>Said and is done for,<br>Why is it thus we are here and so<br>Soon we are gone? <br>Oh, why is it thus we are here and so<br>Soon we are gone?
