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 |
