Paths Of Paradise

Last night I dreamed
 I walked along the paths of paradise
 And only God could tell you
 What I've seen
 But when I woke my heart was sad
 For then I realized
 The paradise for me
 Was still a dream
 But now I know that I'm the one
 Who journeys there to rest
 And every man must find
 His way alone
 But if a man can prove his try
 To do his very best
 The line of life
 Will lead the stranger home
 So when temptation blinds my eyes
 Lord I need to know
 Send down the winds to beat me
 Come and tell me I must go
 So when at last these days of life
 Are numbered few for me
 And fear and pain
 As she left from my eyes
 I'll bow my head and say a prayer
 Wherever I may be
 To walk again
 The paths of paradise
