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
