Dreamer
Prophets and Outlaws Lyrics

What will they read on your headstone when you're gone
What will be the legacy you leave behind after death?

When your ship comes in the night
When opportunity presents itself suddenly and unexpectedly

Just a sinner that never saw anything but the dark
Only seeing the negative in life and not finding a way out of sin

Did you finally see the light
Did you find a path to salvation and redemption

I will die a dreamer
I will maintain my idealism until the very end

I won't die a man
I won't be limited by societal expectations of masculinity

By and by believer
Gradually growing in faith over time

That's just who I am
My identity is rooted in my beliefs and values

So burry me with roses
A request for a peaceful and beautiful burial

Boxes full of sand
Acknowledging the fleeting nature of life and material possessions

Did you go in alone without anyone else
Did you face your fears and challenges without the support of others

Did you find your better half
Did you find a partner who complements and enhances your life

Did you chase down the moon did you give it away
Did you pursue and achieve your wildest dreams, or give them away to someone else

Or did you make somebody laugh
Did you bring joy to others through humor or kindness

Don't you ever look back with regrets
Don't dwell on past mistakes and missed opportunities

Cause a moment is all that you get
Life is short, and we should make the most of every moment

And it ain't over yet
There is always the potential for new experiences and opportunities

Just part of the plan
Everything that happens in life is part of a divine plan

I'll get where I'm going
I trust that I am on the right path and will reach my destination

Move on when you can
It's important to let go of the past and keep moving forward

Knowing I'm a dreamer, dreamin' man
I embrace my identity as a dreamer, even in the face of life's challenges

I will die a dreamer, dreamin' man
My spirit and idealism will live on even after my physical body has passed
