I think I've been trying to write this song for a while now, and it just came to me out of nowhere the other day so I took a few minutes to write it down. The next morning was my first ever "show" at a fund raiser and this was the first song I played...or free-styled since I didn't have time to practice it! But it worked. This was recorded the following night.

Theres a place in heaven
that I sure want to go.
But Ive been walking backwards,
going down the wrong road.

Sometimes I hear angels
singing while I sleep;
But I want nothing more
than to feel them next to me.

(Chorus:)
Is there an angel reaching for my hand?
Can I really start all over again?
They say come as you are,
so Ill go as I am.
Though I know I dont deserve to be,
Could you love me just as much
if I come on broken knees?

Sometimes the darkness
Is right up to my ear.
And the echo of an anxious heart
Is the only thing I hear.

Standing on the edge of this
like a puppet on a string,
With sadness in its eyes
and tears dried to its cheeks.

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge:)
Theres a place in heaven
that I sure want to see;
But the days are getting darker,
and my excuses are getting weak.

(Repeat Chorus)
