Dreams of Life

Mama had dreams but daddy had plans
I lived on Mama's love and learned from Daddy's hands
They gave me all the freedom to be who I am
They took me from boy to man

I cherish the days when they were alive
Mama taught me respect and how to feel inside
But daddy was busy workin' just tryin' to make a dime
He said, "Son you gotta live and learn to survive"

I saw a falling star fall down from the sky
Stars fall for all the loved ones gone by
May the dreams of life be with you
Passed through the hands of time
I never dreamed those hands would be mine

I was lucky to have her love
I didn't have much time
I felt the love of my Mama's heart
I just wanted to say goodbye, say goodbye

I saw a falling star fall down from the sky
Stars fall for all the loved ones gone by
May the dreams of life be with you
Passed through the hands of time
I never dreamed those hands would be mine
