Priscilla Ahn Dream (different lyrics..)

I heard this beautiful song (Dream by Priscilla Ahn) the other day, and for some reason it made me think of those who are giving their lives in the war, and so I rewrote the lyrics...

I hope this doesn't upset anyone, i know nothing can do justice to what's happening overseas. It's just hard to imagine...

oh, and here are the rewritten lyrics:

I was a little boy alone in my little world who dreamed of another life for me.
I played pretend between the trees, I'd paint my face with ink and leaves, and laughed when I could find a place to hide.

I had a dream
I'd be leading the soldier's march
I had a dream.

Long walks in the dark through desert hills and fiery fires, I ask God if my time is near
The stars are smilin down on me, I hope he hears these words for free. I say a prayer and fall asleep.

I had a dream
That I would rise and hear my mother's call
I had a dream.

Now I'm tired and feeling grey. I don't know what's left to say about this life I'm willing to leave.
Fought this full and lived through hell, through many tales I'll never tell.
Not ready now, not ready now, not ready now to give this highest offering.
I had a dream

here are her original lyrics cuz i know some people will want it too:
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

can i get your version on my ipod?

[ilovekigermustangs]

i like how you re-wrote the words. you didn't change too much, just some, and it's a really beautiful song.

[sachiye217]

I think I like this as much as the original version. They're both beautiful in different ways. You did a great job.

[Twizzlerz829]

this is so sad but so beautiful at the same time...love it.

[canthelpbutluvhim]

this is amazing and your voice is so amazing. I cried the first time i listened and this is like the 10th time today... or maybe that 12th...

Beautiful remake of her song. The lyrics touched my heart and made me cry. Beautiful.

[yoyoyo1151]

Wow, beautiful.

[eveveve10]

You are breathtakingly incredible and definitely need to be famous so everyone can be lucky enough to hear your beautiful voice.

No matter how much I love the original, I must say I love this one equally as much. Both my brother and my sister are in the Air Force, and I can tell you they would definitely appreciate this. The altered lyrics make it just as honest (though much sadder) as the original.

I cried the first time I heard this.

Keep up the excellent work!
