Cory Asbury - Dream I Never Had Lyrics

Daddy, when you were a little kid what did you dream you'd be

When you grew up And daddy, did you think that you'd play ball in the major leagues Cranking home runs And did you want to be an astronaut Maybe the president Or maybe not grow up at all like Peter Pan

Well son I dreamt that I'd be big and strong like Superman Or a better man than him Thought that I'd get rich and get a big old house on a big old piece of land Then you showed up and wrecked my life Son you helped me realize that being dad to you is a dream I never had come true

Son, don't ever lose sight of that little boy inside of you When you grow up Son, hope you always hear your mama's voice reminding you Where you come from If you ever feel like giving up Like you're a million miles away Remember all those innocent dreams and they'll all fall into place

If you dream of growing big and strong like Superman You be a better man than him If one day you get rich and get a big old house hope you think of your old man When a girl shows up and wrecks your life

Makes you realize what a grown man's gotta do when the dream he never had comes true Dream he never had comes true

Well I never was an astronaut Never met the president Watching you grow up has been my best accomplishment

I thought that I'd be big and strong like Superman But we both know I ain't him And I have fallen down a time or two but I get back up again Since you showed up and wrecked my life Son you helped me realize I still have growing up to do My son growing up with you is a dream I never had come true Dream I never had come true
