Song:  On the Wings of a Dream

INTRO:  | C | C | G | D7 |

       G            D          G
Yesterday I had a dream about dying
       Bm        D              G
About laying to rest and then flying
         C         G          D                    G     D7
How the moment at hand is the only thing we really own

       G         D         G
And I lay in my bed and I wondered
      Bm            D           G
After all has been said and is done for
  C         G          D                       G
Why is it thus we are here and so soon we are gone?

         C                                                         G
     Is this life just a path to the place that we all have come from?
               C                                             G
     Does the heart know the way and if not, can it ever be found?
            C                                       | G | D | C | C | G | D7 |
     In a smile or a tear or a prayer or a sigh or a song?

        G          D           G
And if so, then I sing for my father
         Bm             D           G
And in truth you must know I would rather
         C          G               D                     G     D7
He were here by my side; we could fly on the wings of a dream

       G               D           G
To a place where the spirit would find us
        Bm         D            G
And in joy and surrender would bind us
       C       G       D                       G
We are one anyway, anyway we are more than we seem

                 C                                                  G
     There are those who will lead us, protect us each step of the way
             C                                              G
     From beginning to end, for each moment, forever, each day
             C                                         | G | D | C | C | G | D7 |
     Such a gift has been given, it can never be taken away


     INSTRUMENTAL:  | G D | G | Bm D | G | C G | D | G | D7 |

            G       D            G
Though the body in passing must leave us
         Bm         D          G
There is one who remains to receive us
            C            G             D                        G     D7
There are those in this life who are friends from our heavenly home

      G             D        G
So I listen to the voices inside me
        Bm            D             G
For I know they are there just to guide me
        C               G          D                 G
And my faith would proclaim it is so, we are never alone

               C                                                    G
     From the life to the light, from the dark of the night to the dawn
            C                                             G
     He is so in my heart, he is here, he could never be gone
                 C                                                 G | D | C | C | G | D7 |
     Though the singer is silent, there still is the truth of the song. . .in the song

       G            D          G
Yesterday I had a dream about dying
       Bm        D              G
About laying to rest and then flying
         C         G          D                    G     D7
How the moment at hand is the only thing we really own

       G         D         G
And I lay in my bed and I wondered
      Bm            D           G
After all has been said and is done for
  C         G          D                       G
Why is it thus we are here and so soon we are gone?
      C         G          D7                      G
Oh, why is it thus we are here and so soon we are gone?
