ream I was a little girl alone in my little world who dreamed of a little home for me.
I played pretend between the trees, and fed my houseguests bark and leaves, and laughed in my pretty bed of green.
I had a dream That I could fly from the highest swing.
I had a dream.
Long walks in the dark through woods grown behind the park, I asked God who I'm supposed to be.
The stars smiled down on me, God answered in silent reverie.
I said a prayer and fell asleep.
I had a dream That I could fly from the highest tree.
I had a dream.
Now I'm old and feeling grey.
I don't know what's left to say about this life I'm willing to leave.
I lived it full and I lived it well, there's many tales I've lived to tell.
I'm ready now, I'm ready now, I'm ready now to fly from the highest wing.
I had a dream
About This Song
"Dream" is a tender, nostalgic ballad that captures the innocent wonder of childhood through vivid imagery of a young girl finding solace and imagination in nature. Ahn's gentle acoustic guitar and soft, ethereal vocals create an intimate folk soundscape that perfectly mirrors the song's themes of solitude, spiritual seeking, and the bittersweet passage from childhood dreams to adult reflection. The lyrics weave together memories of playing pretend among trees, conversations with God under starlit skies, and the universal childhood fantasy of flying, creating a deeply personal meditation on how we lose and rediscover our sense of wonder. The song's delicate musical arrangement and Ahn's vulnerable delivery transform simple childhood recollections into something profound about identity, faith, and the enduring power of dreams. It stands as a beautiful example of how folk music can capture life's most precious and fleeting moments with remarkable emotional depth.
