Dead Man's Journey was inspired by a dream I had. I was coming up to a wooded area, and the path broke into different directions I decided to take a break and look at the scenery.
Jesus walked by me, herding his sheep. He stopped and came back asking if I was lost.
He asked if I was sorry for the tears I saved and dreams I made if my time here was over. He pointed me to the right path, a challenging one; he said you will have regrets along the way.
Right now, this song is fitting for the new path I'm on again. I turned down the choice to take the easy road to self-enrichment, for the path less traveled.
The song isn't just about being happy that you saved people from misery despite them even knowing, but doubts you made the right decision when it all gets so difficult, the feeling of regret, the old saying that no good deed goes unpunished for the whipping.
