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
