If There's a Phone in Heaven - Brian Mallery

The little girl, she said to me "What are these things that I can see? Each night when I come home from school When Mama calls me in for tea" Oh, every night a baby dies And every night a mama cries What makes those men do what they do? To make that person black and blue Grandpa says they're happy now They sit with God in paradise With Angels' wings and still somehow It makes me feel like ice Tell me there's a heaven Tell me that it's true Tell me there's a reason Why I'm seeing what I do Tell me there's a heaven Where all those people go Tell me they're all happy now Papa, tell me that it's so So, do I tell her that it's true? That there's a place for me and you Where hungry children smile and say We wouldn't have no other way That every painful crack of bones Is a step along the way Every wrong done is a game plan To that great and joyful day And I'm looking At the father and the son And I'm looking At the mother and the daughter And I'm watching them in tears of pain And I'm watching them suffer Don't tell that little girl Tell me Tell me there's a heaven Tell me that it's true Tell me there's a reason Why I'm seeing what I do Tell me there's a heaven Where all those people go Tell me they're all happy now Papa, tell me that it's so

I never thought you were a fair-weather friend You never let me down, you're true to the end For in the darkest hour when all was lost Somehow you left the light on You faced the wrong and showed the world a thing or two Stood up for me and for you And you should know Some say it wasn't worth the things We went through (things we went through) I say it ain't worth losing you (losingyou) I hope you know how much you've changed all our lives (Someday)Someday you'll see If only through heaven's eyes Only through heaven's... I still remember the things that you said I keep your words alive, I could never forget Cause in the final hour you made me proud So proud that I could know you Told the world it's time that they believed in you You stood for right and truth And you should know Some say it wasn't worth the things We went through (things we went through) I say it ain't worth losing you(losing you) I hope you know how much you've changed all our lives (Someday)Someday you'll see If only through heaven's eyes Only through heaven's eyes And so we can't forget We've got to keep remembering Them all(them all) The ones who took the fall They did it for us all And we should learn from it Stand up if you believe in it You've got to face the world, be strong Some say it wasn't worth the things We went through (things we went through) I say it ain't worth losing you (losing you) I hope you know how much you've changed all our lives (Someday)Someday you'll see If only through heaven's eyes Only through heaven's... Some say it wasn't worth the things We went through (things we went through) I say it ain't worth losing you (losing you) I hope you know how much you've changed all our lives (Someday) Someday you'll see If only through heaven's eyes Only through heaven's...

If upon that day I die I'm too drunk to walk let alone to drive and I'm kickin' and I'm spittin' like I'm wild and Feral won't you take me to heaven in a wheelbarrow I'm going to heaven in a wheelbarrow. I'm going to heaven yessir. I'm going to heaven in a wheelbarrow so won't you take me there Well I met a woman from the wrong side Of town who gets me up when I'm going down. She keeps me in line shootin' straight and Narrow now she's taking me to heaven in a wheelbarrow I met woman with a cold heart. She tried to take me to heaven in a shopping cart. Woman you're putting my soul in Peril I'm going to heaven in a wheelbarrow I'm going to heaven in a wheelbarrow. I'm going to heaven yessir. I'm going to heaven in a wheelbarrow so won't you take me there A lot of men don't stand so tall. Most of us you know we gotta fall.
