I WOULD LOVE TO BE LIKE YOU, David Beckham
I dream one day I’ll score a goal like you.
Thank You Lord for letting me dream dreams
Even if these dreams may not come true.
I just want to sing and dance like Britney
I dream one day I’ll perform to thousands too.
Thank You Lord for letting me dream dreams
Even if these dreams may not come true.
I just want to be like You, Lord Jesus
I dream one day I’ll live a life like You,
Thank You Lord for letting me dream dreams
My dreams may fade, but Jesus, you stay true.
Thank You Lord for letting me dream dreams.
Lord Jesus I just want to be like You.
Ian Stewart
