From the recording Songs for the Journey
I wrote this song up at Wildacres. It is a dream of seeing our precious world from on high, the weight of its worries and also hopes for healing.
Lyrics
I had a dream
I sailed the seas
I rode the easterlies
I heard the song
The mermaids sing
A song to charm each living thing
I had a dream, I had a dream, I had a dream
I saw the day
Turn to the night
The moon gave me her light
The shooting stars
Became my guides
They beckoned me to fly
I had a dream, I had a dream
I saw the turtle pacing out the time
The weight of the world was heavy on his mind
And then the sun
Began to swirl
The wind its sail unfurled
And sparkled out a shaft of light
To bear me on this flight
I had a dream, I had a dream
I saw the turtle look up in the sky
I saw the tear drops falling from his eyes
I had a dream
I sailed the seas
I rode the solar breeze
I heard the song
The angels sing
A song to heal each living thing
I had a dream, I had a dream, I had a dream
