[D] [G] Yesterday I had a dream about dying, [Bm] about laying [D] to rest and [G] then flying.
[C] How the moment at hand [D] is the only thing we [G] really own.
[D] [G] And I lay in [D] my bed [G] and I wonder, [Bm] after all has been said and [G] is done for,
[C] why is [G] it thus we [D] are here and so soon [G] we are gone?
Is [C] this life just a path to the place that we all have [G] come from?
Does [C] the heart know the way and if not, can it ever [G] be found?
In a [C] smile or a tear or a prayer or a sigh [G] or a song?
[D] [C]

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