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
