Dream of Song: Thank Jesus for Being Alive

 

The lyrics are from a dream I had this morning. In the dream I could hear a song playing on the radio. It sounded like Steve Earle singing, Thank Jesus for being alive. I woke up and wrote down the song that was in my head. 

Whether you work on Wall Street 
Or on some back street hood
Try to keep it real
And do what good people should

Whether you’re  fighting
In another man's war
Watching the rich get richer
And the poor stay poor
Just don't forget what
All this beauty is for

Stay real, Stay right
Learn to love everyone
And swallow your pride
And at the end of the day
Thank Jesus for being alive

Life is a hard road
Full of wicked turns
Don't forget your heart
And what mistakes you have learned
