I'll go to Heaven too
When you left, I shed some tears, why did you up and go?
I promised you I’d be real good, and I’d keep my voice down low…
But you lied in bed straight night and day, and said you needed rest,
So I did my work, and fed the dog, and tried my very best.
Walking home from school one day, I heard the sirens scream,
Sad songs of terror, and of grief, directing them to me.
Lights were flashing, red and blue; I saw them bring you out…
On a stretcher, you quietly lay, you were gone without a doubt.
I had no chance to say goodbye, I just dropped to the ground.
I felt so lost and lonely, despite the people all around.
I swore then that I would find you, and we’d continue on…
Loving life with all God’s grace, and strengthening his bond.
‘Till then I’ll keep on praying, like I use to do with you,
And maybe when the time is right, I’ll go to heaven too!
