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?
