Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some people got a dream that's so much bigger than the town they're in
So give me love, give me love, give me peace, give me peace of mind
I know that there's an ought to a start and I need a little help with mine
California, don't let me down
Seems of golden
But there's struggle all around
He once was a waiter, now he's a savior making money on the street
My dreams are made of gold
My heart's been broken and I'm down along the road
But I know, my dreams keep fading 'til I get old
Breathe for a minute, breathe for a minute
I'll be okay
Staring at a billboard from the bus
Looking at the faces, thinking that could be anyone of us
So give me hope, give me hope, give me hope on this lonely ride
'Cause I know one day, I will be the one in the sky
California, don't let me down
Seems of golden
But there's struggle all around
Sunset Jesus, came to me
He once was a waiter, now he's a savior making money on the street
My dreams are made of gold
My heart's been broken and I'm down along the road
But I know, my dreams keep fading 'til I get old
Breathe for a minute, breathe for a minute
Sunset Jesus
My dreams are made of gold
My heart's been broken and I'm down along the road
But I know, my dreams keep fading 'til I get old
Breathe for a minute, breathe for a minute
I'll be okay
My dreams are made of gold
My heart's been broken and I'm down along the road
But I know, my dreams keep fading 'til I get old
Breathe for a minute, breathe for a minute
I'll be okay

So live a life you will remember
My father told me when I was just a child
These are the nights that never die
My father told me"

Middle_ER Reyes If you listen to all his songs now, you realise he inserted hints of his struggles and beliefs that he'd pass in most of them. He really seemed to have been searching for something beyond this world. I will miss him dearly.
@yets00n
The love and lyrics so deep in each of his songs made him undoubtedly an exceptional artist ... This song is a beautiful example of that :")
