I've Dreamed


I've dreamed many dreams that never came true

I've seen them vanish at dawn

But I've realized enough of my dreams, thank god,

To make me want to dream on

 

I've prayed many prayers when no answer came

Though I waited patient and long

But answers have come to enough of my prayers

To make me want to keep praying on

 

I've trusted many a friend that failed

And left me to weep alone

But I've found enough of my friends true blue

To make me keep trusting on

 

I've sown many seed that fell by the way

For the birds to feed upon

But I've held enough golden sheaves in my hands

To make me keep sowing on

 

I've drained the cup of disappointment and pain

And gone many days without song

But I've sipped enough nectar from the roses of life

To make me want to live on
