Partner in many dreams:
Looking down the road I see
Your choice is not what it seems.
I search for an answer.
By the spirit now I feel
God's word will show us where to go.
But will you let me show you what I know?
Emily my friend.
Partner in many dreams at your side I see
Your choice is not what it seems.
I search for an answer:
By the spirit now,
I feel God's word has shown us where to go.
But will you let me show you what I know.
Oh Emily my friend.
Partner is many dreams.
Walk with me and see
Just what those choices mean
Oh Emily I have seen.
