Lyrics:
Tell me your dreams
Make them as big as you can
So then they have the best chance of maybe working out
Sometimes nothing works out sometimes
Don't be alarmed
Don't shy away when you're in the wrong
I can testify to what it's like being lost inside yourself, a personal hell
I wanna live to the second last day that my children do
Selfishly so I can see them through
And all that they become
That's all I'll ever become
Spend it all
Every last bit that you have
If you need to buy back the piece you lost to the upkeep of renting a room for your soul
I can see how
Every last downfall of man
Could one day lead to the end if we can't find harmony
And treat others like we'd like to be treated
Fair
I know it's not really fair
That don't mean the outcome you should be decided solely by the income of people
Who don't need it for livin'
Still...
I wanna live to the second last day that my children do
Selfishly so I can see them through
And all that they become
That's all I'll ever become
Honestly, how could you dislike this?? It's pure art! It's extremely saddening to see this only has 25k views.. stay strong Mr William, you're perhaps the most pure artist I'll ever know
44,500 views now. :) That is a good thing!
Yes he is can't get enough of listening 🎧 to his music music that makes your ears listen your heart ❤️ melt and your soul at ease and happy tears that's all I ever become
One year on and 83k views but only 1.5k likes. Can't understand why he didn't get more likes. He's got such an amazing voice!
Get over it. Enjoy it for yourself. The rest you speak of is just vapour.
I was thining the same.... such a smooth, lovely and honest voice.
"I want to live to the second last day that my children do", hit me in all the feels.
John Prine would be proud
You are a poet and philosopher, and bonus, a story teller. Your words are meaningful, helpful, important
I couldn't agree more i just discovered this artist this year and I'm hooked. When i go camping he'improves an already magical atmosphere.
Firstly, I am not a country music fan [house music actually] but I first heard Mr. Prince's voice the other day on CBC radio 2 & I was memorized by his haunting voice. I felt compelled to find out more. Hearing/watching this song suddenly brought my to tears. My wife & I are parents to a wonderful 5 year old boy and this song struck at the core of what I think it means to be "dad"
Thank you, William Prince. :-)
What a voice ❤
I'm not crying. Okay. I'm crying. Thank you William.
Life, and music, are about figuring out what really matters. William Prince is one of the rare, gifted, moving artists who got that truth and conveys it better than anyone I know. Thank you, William Prince, for yet another beautiful and moving song and video. Breathless these earthly days I am -- thank you.
I adore William Prince... But this song hits me so hard. I was not able to have children; I would've given ANYTHING to have been able to experience what this song describes. 💔
❤ 😢
This song guts me ,every time I have heard it .
Love my babies ,and miss my dad .
Live long Mr Prince .
Thanks for the poetry .
You nailed it Mr Prince. I know I am going to die one day, and I know my girl will live on, and she'll be ok, meet her fears and her challenges and her pain and her future with courage because that's who she is. But I wish I could be there to ...well just be there, until the second last day of her life, even if she doesn't need me to be there at all.
Wow 😮😢❤, so beautiful, thank You and God Bless You. 🙏
As a father of two, this song captures every day life of being a dad.
Beautiful!😢
William was just in Edmonton and did a fabulous show!! Such a great voice!!
I heard this on the radio and had to stop to write it down. Beautiful song, as a newly empty nester it just hits home💯🙏💗
Looking forward to his concert in Edmonton tonight.
Smiles, hello Sandra 🌺😊
I was absolutely blessed to win a contest to see you perform this album the day before it was released in Toronto. It hasn't lost any of the greatness since the first time I got to hear it! Thank you Mr. Prince!
Man, I’ve fallen in love with your voice and music. Thanks William Prince!
Why aren't indigenous people playing Williams's music on all their stations is the question of the day!
My son sent me this in reponse to a my learning as I aged how focussed I felt for my children & grandchildrens health, happiness n safety. In addition my gratitude to them. A poignant n important poetic lyric. Empathetic!
Congrats on going to the Grande Ole Oprey. Your voice and music is beautiful. 👍 2023, Hannora, Mohawk Woman
The definition of what a great compassionate man should be.
Beautiful...keep going!
I can see your soul when you sing, i just want to give you a big hug
Smiles, hi Betty 🌺😊
Incredibly Beautiful Song. I love the way she explains how she found the raptor😅
"But I want to live ..'til the second last day that my children do.....selfishly, so I can see them through in all that they become.".......I wish I could squeeze a gorgeous line like that--out of a pen. Pure gold......What a phrase.........speechless.
Beautiful song William.
This is parental love. You have put words to the feelings I’ve had since becoming a father. TY!
💙
Oh my everything.... so beautiful.
Smiles, absolutely beautiful Lauren, feels really great listening, how are you doing? 🌺😊
Me and my dad came straight here from 5 Watt World... This was the first thing we clicked on and now my dad is crying. 😝🤪👍🏼✌🏼❤️🎸🤘🏼
I also found out through Kieth's video just now. Can't bring myself to wipe away the last sweet tear yet. So happy I heard this song first. Even though I have no children of my own, this is how I feel about all children, about all of us.
Everyone was born innocent.
Right. I cant stop crying. Try Breathless. My wife is away and i miss her so much i sent her Breathless video and sat at my desk at work and Cried. Beautiful!!!
Thank you for this.
Man. I love this song. My first child is a boy. And i love him with all my heart. I had him when i was 20 years old and i wouldnt change a thing in my life.
Thanks for this song. ❤️
I can certainly testify about being in my own personal hell...
absolutely precious
Amazing young man , amazing singer and writer. Thank you William, Stay safe and well.
I work at a residential program for kids & teens. My job is to support parents. I listen to this song throughout the day to find my center and remind myself to project from a kind and understanding heart.
Everyone should have such a strong and wise father.
Amen XO
❤️
Tell me your dreams

Most beautiful, pure song Ive ever heard.
I lost my daughter & 17 days later my husband passed in January of 2022. Your songs calm me, melt me and bring back lovely memories. Thank you for your beautiful songs. You are so “real” & the world needs more of YOU! 🙏
🌎 ❤
Awww, so sorry about your loss Jackie. I truly understand how it feels losing a loved one, my wife passed while having our daughter, wasn't easy for me though but I'm grateful to God for today 🙏. My deep and sincere condolences, how have you been? 🌺😢
man that's beautiful thank you
I heard this for the first time on Sunday and this song tells exactly how I feel about my children and seeing them through.
you´re a poet, William Prince. This is just so simply beautiful, so calming. All the best
Just heard him in a Telus commercial, this is so beautiful, I am gonna tell everyone about this amazing poet. Thank you for this Mr. William.
Words cannot describe how beautiful of a voice and how positive your music is. I'm glad I found you when I did.
I just discovered you as an artist last night at the Juno's! What an amazing artist you are and I am incredibley moved by your songs!
Smiles, absolutely amazing Diane, feels really great listening, how are you doing? 🌺😊
Love everything about this fine artist! A voice that's a mix of wood smoke and Jim Reeves! Lyrics that speak to life and to my heart! A huge intellect! Thanks for being here now...I needed your voice, words and thoughtfulness.
Smiles, hi Betty 🌺😊
Thank you for your artistry! Thank you for the wonderful concert in Ottawa. What a pleasure to be part of your gifted voice, Mr Prince.
Smiles, hello Tracey 🌺😊
Pure and honest, beautiful sentiment wish I had the talent to put my feelings for my children into a song like this.... love your work mate, here in UK no one like you....
Watching you sing this at your Workshop in Canmore was incredibly moving after having seen this music video a few times. It brought back so many wonderful memories with my son when he was much younger. It’s so wonderful to see him take off on his own and yet so hard. Thank you
This video made my mom cry :)
Pretty awesome, so sorry for me than I'm late to this party. Love your voice, tunes, and yea, the whole enchilada...
As a dad, i feel this deeply
Love your Son in this video. 😍
Wow, just cry every time I hear this beautiful, simple song that speaks to the heart of life. Saw this amazing artist at the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival this past summer, and was struck speechless. I never knew about him, but now he is my favorite Canadian artist beside the incomparable Blue Rodeos Jim Cuddy
Smiles, absolutely beautiful Kathleen, feels really great listening, how are you doing? 🌺😊
Beautiful
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Smiles, hi Lynn 🌺😊
I've been inspired and encouraged by this song and it's lyrics. I've shared it so others can learn and appreciate! Thank you so much.
Thanks for the music! A good Dad!
Smiles, hi Julie 🌺😊
Such love! Thank you for sharing with us!
I liked this artist from the first moment I heard him on the radio. A great singer and a Christian brother, too.
Wow what a beautiful voice. That voice conveys an air of trust and integrity.
Hey william did you know that Vodafone UK in Egypt uses your song ( Breathless) while waiting on the line.. I loved it
Your voice is so mesmerizing. Great talented musician.
❤❤
Great performance! I love your voice and the lyrics are wonderful. Thanks for sharing your talent.
I listened to you on CBC Last night. Today in class, my students and I closed our eyes and listened to you sing. We discussed what we thought you were talking about etc. We love your music! Thank you. All the best!
Smiles, hello Nancy 🌺😊
Brilliant
Smiles, hello Sharon 🌺😊
I love his singing, I put it on when I wash dishes. Breaks my heart but also reminds me of what I need to be thankful for

I love this beautiful, poignant song, thank you for sharing your voice, your heart, with the world. This video also really touches me, most especially at this time around Sept 30. Much love.

Another beautiful song. Thank you:)
