Yesterday I had a dream about dying
B minorBm D MajorD G+G
About laying to rest and then flying
C majorC G+G
How the moment at hand
D MajorD D7D7 G+G D7D7
Is the only thing we really own
G+G D MajorD G+G
And I lay in my bed and I wondered
B minorBm D MajorD G+G
After all has been said and is done for
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Why is it thus we are here
D7D7 G+G
And so soon we are gone
C majorC A minorAm C majorC
Is this life just a path to the place
A minorAm Am7Am7 G+G
That we all have come from
C majorC A minorAm
Does the heart know the way
C majorC A minorAm Am7Am7 G+G
And if not can it ever be found
C majorC A minorAm C majorC
In a smile or a tear or a prayer
A minorAm Am7Am7 G+G D MajorD C majorC A minorAm Am7Am7 C majorC A minorAm Am7Am7 G+G D MajorD D7D7
Or a sigh or a song....
G+G D MajorD G+G
And if so then I sing for my father
B minorBm D MajorD G+G
And in truth you must know I would rather
C majorC G+G D MajorD
He were here by my side we could fly
D7D7 G+G D7D7
On the wings of a dream
G+G D MajorD G+G
To a place where the spirit would find us
B minorBm D MajorD G+G
And in joy and surrender would bind us
C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7 G+G
We are one anyway anyway we are more than we seem
C majorC A minorAm C majorC
There are those who will lead us protect us
A minorAm Am7Am7 G+G
each step of the way
C majorC A minorAm
From beginning to end
C majorC A minorAm Am7Am7 G+G
For each moment forever each day
C majorC A minorAm
Such a gift has been given
C majorC A minorAm Am7Am7 G+G D MajorD C majorC A minorAm Am7Am7 C majorC A minorAm Am7Am7 G+G D MajorD D7D7
It can never be taken away.....
G+G D MajorD G+G B minorBm D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7 G+G D MajorD D7D7
G+G D MajorD G+G
Though the body in passing must leave us
B minorBm D MajorD G+G
There is one who remains to receive us
C majorC G+G
There are those in this life
D MajorD D7D7 G+G D7D7
Who are friends from our heavenly home
G+G D MajorD G+G
So I listen to the voices inside me
B minorBm D MajorD G+G
For I know they are there just to guide me
C majorC G+G
And my faith would proclaim it
D MajorD D7D7 G+G
Is so we are never alone
C majorC A minorAm
From the life to the light
C majorC A minorAm Am7Am7 G+G
from the dark of the night to the dawn
C majorC A minorAm
He is so in my heart
C majorC A minorAm Am7Am7 G+G
He is here he could never be gone
C majorC A minorAm
Though the singer is silent
C majorC A minorAm Am7Am7 G+G D MajorD C majorC A minorAm Am7Am7 C majorC A minorAm
There still is the truth of the song...
Am7Am7 G+G D MajorD D7D7
In the song
G+G D MajorD G+G
Yesterday I had a dream about dying
B minorBm D MajorD G+G
About laying to rest and then flying
C majorC G+G
How the moment at hand
D MajorD D7D7 G+G D MajorD D7D7
Is the only thing we really own
G+G D MajorD G+G
And I lay in my bed and I wondered
B minorBm D MajorD G+G
After all has been said and is done for
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Why is it thus we are here
D7D7 G+G
And so soon we are gone
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Oh why is it thus we are here
D7D7 G+G
And so soon we are gone
