Now I Dream
Lyrics
I am just a poor old woman
A widow of impotent means
All alone in this harsh world
But now I have relief
From the pain and misery
Each day I praise my benefactor
For his gift of charity
With eleven other lost souls
I share this sanctuary
We are comfort, we are free
I no longer fear the rain and thunder
I no longer hear the screams
I no longer hide in shadows
Now I dream
I now have a hot meals in my belly
And a warm and cozy bed
But most of all I'm now safe at last
With a roof over my head
I no longer shake with dread
I now see rainbows
And the sun up in the sky
I can almost touch the silver moonbeams
And catch the wind as it sails by
I no longer fear the rain and thunder
I no longer hear the screams
I no longer hide in shadows
Now I dream
