I Want To

I Want To
 
The birds are singing with the coming of dawn
I find the road is often winding and long
 
My many  golden dreams fill my head
While lying here in my unmade bed
 
My heart’s filled with an appreciation for you
For all of the wonderful things that you do
 
I want to open wide the church doors
I never want to be left just wanting more
 
I want to pray for peace and solitude
Pray for prosperity and for plenitude
 
I want to endlessly travel that long and winding path
Always looking forward and no longer looking back
 
I want to climb that mountain ever high
Reach out and touch the sun soaked sky
 
I am on a journey of both heart and soul
Finding peace and happiness are my ultimate goal
 
I want to bravely walk into the fleeting light
Bring that light into the darkness of the still of night
 
I want to harvest the mid summer’s crop
Not ever let anyone tell me that I have to stop
 
I want to swim in the seas tidal pool
I want never to have lived the life of a fool
 
I want to prosper till the very day that I die
Please don’t ever allow me to live a lie
 
I want to walk with you till the end of our road
Allow me to loosen your burdensome load
 
I want to soar with the eagle in the turquoise sky
I can’t live the perfect life but Lord knows I’ll try
