If Your Prayers Don't Get To Heaven

I'm packing up I've gotta move

I'm blow a fifty foot hole through the dark clouds in our room

I'm making a change I'm gon' starting today

I'm roll these dice with a song tonight I'm gonna whip these blues away

And I'm gonna run so far they'll never find me again

But I ain't leaving I ain't leaving 'less I'm leaving here with you

I've been patient while I waited but I feel it's time to move

You've been crying yeah I've seen you

Honey I've been crying too

If your prayers don't get to heaven I'm gon' keep them safe for you

If your prayers don't get to heaven I'm gon' keep them safe til they do

I just wait in the cold cold gray

But I know like I've been told yeah mama said hold onto hope

She whispers sweet there's a light and glory

But you gotta burn that sound of the voices out

That wanna bring you to your knees

And you gotta run so far they'll never find you again

But I ain't leaving I ain't leaving 'less I'm leaving here with you

I've been patient while I waited but I feel it's time to move

You've been crying yeah I've seen you

Honey I've been crying too

If your prayers don't get to heaven I'm gon' keep them safe for you

If your prayers don't get to heaven I'm gon' keep them safe til they do

And when I was a child a dream came to me

Where every soul hanging low found its piece of dignity

'Til that dream gets to heaven you can ride this train for free

'Til that dream gets to heaven you can ride this train on me

And we're gonna run so far they'll never find us again

But I ain't leaving I ain't leaving 'less I'm leaving here with you

I've been patient while I waited but I feel it's time to move

You've been crying yeah I've seen you

Honey I've been crying too

If your prayers don't get to heaven I'm gon' keep them safe for you

If your prayers don't get to heaven I'm gon' keep them safe til they do

'Til they do

'Til they do

'Til they do
