Maybe In Heaven
I know it's been a while, since we've spoken last
but I got to thinking 'bout you, sifting through old photographs
sitting and reminiscing, making wishes on pictures
hoping only for a minute, we were kids again
we'll always be siblings, but we were friends then
and even with the distance, you're still my closest kin
if I could hold you now, I'd never let you go again
I hope you hear the condolence, in the words that I wrote this with
'cause someday, I hope our family's whole again
just because our home was broken, doesn't mean our hearts can't mend
so if not today, then maybe in a better place
maybe in Heaven we'll have more to say
I think about our time lost, the pain I've caused
and all the burdens, my ego and pride brought
am I better off, or is it my loss
my God, what if it's my fault
maybe I'm the reason, that my family fell apart
could I have held them together, if only I was strong
may I do what I couldn't do, while alive, now that I'm gone
and bring them all back together, cry along in song
letting bygones be bygones, shoulders you can cry on
if in your heart is where I belong, then I am never gone
life is too short, to always right the wrongs
sometimes it's best, just to take it with a grain of salt
and move forward, there's so many more important ways
to measure oneself, than your portions of misfortune
it's unfortunate, you incorporate your hate in place of faith
and never take the time, to appreciate all you have today
but anyway, I just wrote this to say
I love you and I miss y'all, and without you it just ain't the same
so one day, maybe in a better place
maybe in Heaven we'll have more to say
