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 God, To make me to want
to dream on.
I've prayed many prayers when no
answer came Though I 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 true blue, To
make me keep trusting on.
I've sown many a seed
that fell by the way For the birds to feed upon,
But I've held enough golden sheaves in my hands To
make me keep sowing on.
I've drained the cup
of disappointment and pain And gone many days without
song, But I've sipped enough nectar from the roses
of life To make me want to live on.
