One time I dreamt
I was a bird
With shining silver wings
And as I flew
I felt such joy,
I could not help
But sing
I sang of freedom and bliss and joy
I sang of thrill and success
I sang of home and beauty,
Of shining silver nests
I sang my song
And my joy expanded
Until I nearly burst
And as I sang
I began to dance,
Though the wind was
Dancing first
I danced through the air with grace and ease
I danced through the air with love
I danced through the air, and felt my wings
My gifts come from above
I danced my dance
And was grateful for
My gorgeous silver wings
And as I danced
I felt such love
For the pretty
Little things
I loved my wings with all my heart
Loved them with all my being
Flying felt like ecstasy
Like a blind man's first time seeing
One time I woke
From a gorgeous dream
And was disappointed when
My silver wings had disappeared
Leaving me with arms instead
I began to cry, and as I did,
My heart sank down into my bed
It seemed my shining silver wings
Had turned to a heart of led
