On The Wings Of A Dream Lyrics - John Denver

Song: 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 wonder 

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 wonder 

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
