Because of the things I saw,
I woke up from a bad dream,
There were tears in my eyes,
A neighbor heard my scream

I'd climbed the stairs to heaven,
I was in front of the golden gates
When they couldn't find my name,
I knew what would be my fate

Chorus:
The Lord looked down at me,
Then he said so lovingly
I'd like to help you my son,
And erase all you have done
But on the day you had died,
You still had foolish pride
When I'm not asked to forgive,
I can't forgive how you lived

A big hole then opened up,
And I saw a lot of flames
There was none of the beauty,
From the way I just came

All I saw was pitiful souls,
Every one was in misery
That is when I woke up,
Did God send the dream to me?

Chorus:
The Lord looked down at me,
Then he said so lovingly
I'd like to help you my son,
And erase all you have done
But on the day you had died,
You still had foolish pride
When I'm not asked to forgive,
I can't forgive how you lived

When I'm not asked to forgive,
I can't forgive how you lived
