I HAD A HOPE, I TOUCHED A DREAM

I had a hope, I touched a dream,
There was no easy way,
I walked into the dead of night -
For there I could not stay.

I walked, and when the moon shone bright
I found a path to climb,
I walked beneath the strangest light
In that most troubled time.

I walked and chased away my fears,
I walked, I looked ahead,
Through a vale of endless tears
I walked where I was led.

And as I climbed, and as I saw
The landscape all around,
I felt the tremblings of a war
And heard a distant sound.

And war there was, within my heart,
But what I heard was prayer,
A Greater Power was with me,
A Greater Power was there.

A greater power held my hand
And gave me strength to fight -
I walked within the smile of God,
I walked towards the light.
