Fly To The Heavens

[Cheeky Monkey]

I'm not an overly religious guy at all, but the music for this song has a mood that just caused this lyric to literally spill out of me. I've never written a lyric like this before, and although it perhaps reads like a Christian or Praise & Worship style, that's not really how I intend it. It's mid-tempo, folk/rock style. All comments welcome and appreciated.

(Verse 1)
It's been too long since I prayed to You
Hope You're listening 'cause I'm feeling blue / today
A bit tired and lonely

Got to thinking 'bout the life I live
Knowing I have so much love to give / I say
You're my one and only

(Build)
When the time has come
To meet You / my maker
I'll raise my heavy arms
And spread my wings
Then...

(Chorus)
I'll fly / to the heavens / when I die
I believe / I'll one day / get that high
I'll behold / my Savior / in paradi-i-i-i-ise
I'll fly / to the heavens / when I die

(Verse 2)
The love You share will make me whole
When Your spirit fills my soul / I'll know
The meaning of devotion

Will You show me in the dead of night
How to find Your guiding light / I'll go
To the heart of emotion

(Build)
When the time has come
To meet You, my maker
I'll raise my heavy arms
And spread my wings
Then...

(Chorus)
I'll fly / to the heavens / when I die
I believe / I'll one day / get that high
I'll behold / my Savior / in paradi-i-i-i-ise
I'll fly / to the heavens / when I die

(Bridge)
As each midnight hour draws near
I fall asleep, I have no fear
When it's time to take Your hand
Your wish, Dear Lord, is my command

- Instrumental break to continued Bridge music -

(Chorus)
I'll fly / to the heavens / when I die
I believe / I'll one day / get that high
I'll behold / my Savior / in paradi-i-i-i-ise
I'll fly / to the heavens / when I die
I'll fly / to the heavens / when I die

I Like The Lyrics. I Find It Very Well Written. I Respect The Fact That You Could Write A Song That Deep And Not Always Write In A Religious Form. It Would Be Nice To See More Lyrics From You.
