Lyrics
Lord these words I beg of you
Expressing a plea to the Lord.
As I kneel down at my bed
Kneeling in prayer at the bed.
Because soon I will be dead
Acknowledging the imminent approach of death.
Let's face it soon I will be dead
Accepting the inevitability of one's own death.
And I just want to
Transitioning to a desire or goal.
I want to see the boy happy
Expressing a wish to witness the boy's happiness.
With some hope in his pale eyes
Describing the desired state of the boy – having hope in his eyes.
Is that too much to ask?
Pleading for a seemingly simple request.
Before I die
Reiterating the urgency of the request before death.
I have one final dream
Sharing a final dream or aspiration.
For my own life I don't care anything
Expressing a lack of concern for the speaker's own life.
Lord these words I beg of you
Repeating the plea to the Lord.
As I kneel down at my bed
Reiterating the act of prayer at the bed.
Let's face it soon I will be dead
Restating the acknowledgment of impending death.
And I just want to
Re-emphasizing the desire for a specific outcome.
I want to see the boy happy
Repeating the wish to witness the boy's happiness.
With his arms around his first love
Describing the desired scene of the boy with his first love.
Is that too much to ask?
Pleading again for what seems like a modest request.
Before I die
Reaffirming the urgency of the request before death.
I have one final dream
Reiterating a final dream or aspiration.
For my own life I don't care anything
Reiterating the lack of concern for the speaker's own life.
And I just want to
Re-emphasizing the desire for a specific outcome.
I want to see this boy happy
Repeating the wish to see the boy happy, with a broader scope.
Why is this such a bad thing?
Pondering why such a desire is perceived as negative or undesirable.
