Lyrics If Your Prayers Don't Get To Heaven - Brian Fallon

If Your Prayers Don't Get To Heaven

I’m packing up, I’ve gotta move
I’ma blow a fifty-foot hole through the dark clouds in my room
I’m making a change I’m gon' start today
I’ma roll these dice with a song tonight, I’m gonna whip these blues away
And I’m gonna run so far they’ll never find me again
But I ain’t leavin', I ain’t leavin' 'less I’m leavin' here with you
I’ve been patient while I waited, but I feel it’s time to move
You’ve been crying, yeah, I’ve seen you
Honey, I’ve been crying too
If your prayers don’t get to Heaven, I’m gon' keep them safe for you
If your prayers don’t get to Heaven, I’m gon' keep them safe ‘til they do
I just wait in the cold, cold gray
But I know like I’ve been told, yeah, mama said, «Hold onto hope»
She whispers sweet, «There's a light in glory»
But you gotta burn that sound of the voices out that wanna bring you to your
knees
And you gotta run so far they’ll never find you again
But I ain’t leavin', I ain’t leavin' 'less I’m leavin' here with you
I’ve been patient while I waited, but I feel it’s time to move
You’ve been crying, yeah, I’ve seen you
Honey, I’ve been crying too
If your prayers don’t get to Heaven, I’m gon' keep them safe for you
If your prayers don’t get to Heaven, I’m gon' keep them safe ‘til they do
And when I was a child, a dream came to me
Where every soul hanging low found its piece of dignity
But 'til that dream gets to Heaven, you can ride this train for free
'Til that dream gets to Heaven, you can ride this train on me
And we’re gonna run so far they’ll never find us again
But I ain’t leavin', I ain’t leavin' 'less I’m leavin' here with you
I’ve been patient while I waited, but I feel it’s time to move
You’ve been crying, yeah, I’ve seen you
Honey, I’ve been crying too
If your prayers don’t get to Heaven, I’m gon' keep them safe for you
If your prayers don’t get to Heaven, I’m gon' keep them safe ‘til they do
'Til they do
'Til they do
'Til they do
