I've dreamed many dreams that never came true,
I've seen them vanish at dawn, But I've realized
enough of my dreams thank the Lord, To make me want
to dream on,
I've prayed many prayers when no
answer came, Though I've waited patient and long,
But answers have come to enough of my prayers, To
make me keep praying on,
I've trusted many a
friend that failed, And left me to weep alone,
But I've found enough of my friends that are really
true, That will make me keep trusting on.
I've sown many seeds that have fallen by the way,
For the birds to feed upon, But I've held enough
golden sheaves in my hand, To make me keep sowing
on.
I've drunk from the cup of disappointment
and pain, I've gone many days without song, But
I've sipped enough nectar from the Roses of Life,
To make me keep living on!
