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