Boy's Song

I had a dream last night
That I died last night
I woke up in a cold sweat
I was scared to death
The thing that frightened me
It wasn't the dying
See I saw my boys grow up
And I wasn't there to love them

They're so young they won't remember me
A couple pictures are the only thing
They'll have of dad
They'll have of me
And if I have to leave them here alone
There's a few things I want them to know
Before I'm gone

Be good to your brother
And love on your mother
If you know something is right
Do it no matter the price
When the world preaches madness
You can choose joy over sadness
This life it's a gift
Live it like Jesus would live it

Optimistically it was just a stupid dream
But the truth is I don't know, cause I don't run the show no
Man the days come fast, and should this one be my last
I want to say my piece, and hope the words will reach them

Be good to your brother
And love on your mother
If you know something is right
Do it no matter the price
When the world preaches madness
You can choose joy over sadness
This life it's a gift
Live it like Jesus would live it

I want you to know that you are both my favorite
I wanted to say in my own way
I love you

Be good to your brother
And love on your mother
If you know something is right
Do it no matter the price
When the world preaches madness
You can choose joy over sadness
This life it's a gift
Live it like Jesus would live it
