| My papa was a big 'ol man
|
| He held the world and me in the palm of his hand
|
| He held us altogether
|
| The family corner stone
|
| His voice was deep just like his fate
|
| He’d always call me, «sugar babe»
|
| And what I wouldn’t give to hear «I love you"one more time
|
| He loved to read John 3:16
|
| Tapped along to hymns we’d sing
|
| He left us so much more than earthly things
|
| Sometimes when there’s no answer
|
| Or no reason for the pain
|
| And I just can’t wrap my head around the wire of things that come my way
|
| I still believe you hold a place for us in heaven
|
| So even when my faith on earth is shaken
|
| You’re my safe haven
|
| He said my home’s not here, no I’m not bound
|
| My home is built on higher ground
|
| And where I’m going, oh goodbye don’t mean a thing
|
| There’s gonna be some things I miss
|
| But don’t forget God promises we’ll be together on the other side
|
| Sometimes when there’s no answer
|
| Or no reason for the pain
|
| And I just can’t wrap my head around the wire of things that come my way
|
| I still believe you hold a place for us in heaven
|
| So even when my faith on earth is shaken
|
| You’re my safe haven
|
| Ooh, ooh, oh
|
| It’s comfort for my heart that breaks
|
| To know you’re in a better place
|
| And that I’ll see your loving face again
|
| I still believe you hold a place for us in heaven
|
| So even when my faith on earth is shaken
|
| You’re my safe haven
|
| You’re my safe haven
|
| My papa was a big 'ol man
|
| He held the world and me in the palm of his hand |
