I Pray You'Re In Heaven
I never really told you how much I love you
In fact, I waited way too long
Time was an enemy; you were up there in years
And naturally, you had to move on
When I was a child, I thought you a monster
I often times wished you away
When voices got loud and that darkness set in
In that moment, I’d cry and I’d pray
I prayed you to Hell; didn’t know better
Hoped God was listening that day
But, I had grown up and witnessed your change
Which prompted me too late to say
I pray you’re in Heaven
Instead of in Hell
God loves you as He loves me, too
I was a young child
So scared of you, then
If you hear me, please know this as true
Hell is the place
Where I would remain
If angels had you under wing
I’d suffer the fires
Being happy there, too
To know that God let you in
I’m sorry I waited and now with regrets
I hope you can hear me this day
May you be looking and down from the clouds
From up there in Heaven, I pray
Your sin was your struggle, the bottle had won
And I, I just couldn’t see
That despite all the yelling and fear that I had
You were still the best mother to me
I pray you’re in Heaven
Instead of in Hell
God loves you as He loves me, too
I was a young child
So scared of you, then
If you hear me, please know I love you
