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
