Dylan was a typical seven year old
Sharp as a rack with a heart of gold
Mama called him Angel Boy
a gift from above her only pride and joy
He was born with a fatal disease
Doctor said he wouldn't reach his teens
When folks would ask how he lived so strong
He'd spell it out in the form of a song
H is for heaven where I'll someday be
O is for others who are praying for me
P is for perseverance through the pain
E is for everything I stand to gain
I know that I can cope
As long as I have hope
One day they grabbed a map and the keys
And hit the road to make some memories
Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam
Yellowstone and Disneyland
Late one night while in Santa Fe
He fell asleep and God took him away
Now through her tears mama carries on
With the help of Dylan's song
