Hi, In answer to Mini-Moon who posted here 2 years ago - so don't know if she'll see this! I've filled in the gaps. There are possibly more verses, but I only remember these two..

Here's a puzzle! Do any of you remember the words to "On wings of song."
I remember the beginning, but there are several different versions and I've never been able to find the one we sang at school.

On wings of song far sailing, to distant lands we'll go,
There a dream land unveiling, we'll wend by the Ganges flow.
A garden with fair roses laden
Lies bathed in moonlight clear
The lotus flowers awaken to greet their sister dear,
The lotus flowers awaken to greet their sister dear.

And there 'neath the palms reclining
Free from the world we'll seem
And worldly cares entwining
Shall fade away in dream
Shall fade away in dream
Shall fade in dream
Shall fade in dream
