Lyrics
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
And 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 that my 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
Love on your mother
Be good to your brother
I want you to know
That you are both
My favorite
I wanted to say
In my own way
I love you
