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
