Glimpses At Heaven

I’ve seen glimpses at heaven,
But I’ve seen more hell.
All those great people
And friends that fell.

I’ve seen too much pain
 In this world to understand.
But we’ll get through this together.
Just take my hand.

I can’t help the fallen.
I can’t help the broken.
I have so many demons
And they all have just awoken.

I don’t want to fall this time.
Ohh. Ohh.
Ohh. Ohh.

When you feel pain,
Burden it on me.
Because I love you darling
Can’t you see?

Can you mend my broken heart?
Can you change my past into art?

Ohh. Ohh.
Ohh. Ohh.
I don’t want to fall this time.
If I do I will get up and climb.

Take my hand to see a brighter day.
squeeze it tight and let the pain fade away.
