THIS DREAM I HAD,
TO RIDE AND ROPE.
WAS FADING AWAY,
ALONG WITH MY HOPE.

AS TIME MOVED ON,
I STARTED TO SEE,
MY CHANCE AT ROPING,
NEVER WOULD BE.

IN ONE FINAL EFFORT,
MY KNEE HIT THE GROUND.
I LOOKED TO THE HEAVENS,
AND UTTERED THIS SOUND.

OH PLEASE LORD!
TELL ME WHY?
AND THIS TIME,
I STARTED TO CRY.

WHEN, OH LORD,
WILL I LEARN, TO ROPE AND RIDE?
AND HOW LONG GOD,
MUST THESE FEELINGS I HIDE?

I THINK ON THAT,
EMOTIONAL DAY.
THAT THIS TIME,
THE LORD DID, HEAR ME PRAY!

GOD SENT ME TO DENNIS,
A MAN TRUE AND FINE.
AND TOGETHER, WE'VE CHASED,
THAT DREAM OF MINE.

I CAME TO THIS MAN,
WITH A DREAM IN MY HEART.
AND LOOK AT ME NOW!
I WAS GIVEN A START.

I CAME TO THIS MAN,
SO HE COULD SHAPE, TEACH AND MOLD.
AND LOOK AT ME NOW!
I AM ONE OF HIS FOLD.

I CAME TO THIS MAN,
NOT A THING DID I KNOW.
AND LOOK AT ME NOW!
HELL! I LOOP I CAN THROW.

I CAME TO THIS MAN,
AND HE MADE ME SHINE.
AND LOOK AT ME NOW!
THERE'S A HORSE AND SADDLE I CALL MINE.

I CAME TO THIS MAN,
IN SEARCH OF A CHANGE.
AND LOOK AT ME NOW!
MY LIFE REARRANGED.

I KNOW WITH THIS MAN,
WHOM, I'VE COME TO CALL FRIEND.
AT NO TIME,
WILL HIS TEACHING ME END!

AND, WHAT HAVE I LEARNED,
FROM THIS MAN?
IT'S SIMPLE,
YES I CAN.

SO.

DON'T GIVE UP THE HOPE,
DON'T GIVE UP THAT DREAM,
NO MATTER HOW TOUGH,
IT SOMETIMES MAY SEEM.

THERE'S A MAN UP ABOVE,
WHO WILL LISTEN TO YOU.
AND A MAN NAMED DENNIS,
WHO WILL SEE YOU THROUGH.

JUST LOOK AT ME NOW!
FROM WHERE I BEGAN.
I'M A RIDER, A ROPER,
A BORN AGAIN MAN.
