Visiting Hours
I wish heaven had visiting hours
I'd carry a beer or two
And some meat to go
Cause I know my grandpa's would love that
I'd seat with them and let them just talk
For I'd love to hear how they were
For to me they were but stories
Cause I never got to see them, long gone before I was born
I'd want them to see how I've grown
To let them see that the lineage keeps on
And how the beautiful family tree
Is fruitful, we've got kids to mark each season
I'd tell them of how things are looking up for us
Cause they up here looking out on us
For we've never lacked even though they're gone
They both gave us strong grandma's
I'd let them know how grandma keeps waiting
Seating next to their favourite chair
Leaving his chair facing her
She sleeps saying a prayer to him every night
I wish heaven had visiting hours
So that I'd get to bond with my grandpa's
Cause I was named after one
And my big bro was named after the other
