Heaven is a Place

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Mama kept a picture of my cousin on the shelf

Told me heaven is a place where the hurting finally rest

I was twelve with a hole in my chest

Didn't understand the math of losing folks you never get back

They say the good Lord call you home when your work is done

But my brother wasn't finished he was barely twenty-one

So I stopped talking to the sky for a while

Just carried his laugh around like it was mine

Pre-Chorus

I been trying to believe

Trying to believe

That somewhere past the rain

Somewhere past the pain

Chorus

Heaven is a place

Heaven is a place

Where my people ain't got no more sorrow

Heaven is a place

Heaven is a place

I'll see you on the other side tomorrow

Verse 2

Grandma prayed the rosary on her knees

Told me grief is just love with nowhere to leave

I was grown by the time I understood

That a broken heart can still hold something good

I been mad at the man upstairs

Been mad at the ones who took you there

But holding all that hate is a heavy load

So I'm laying it down on this long road

Pre-Chorus

I been trying to believe

Trying to believe

That somewhere past the rain

Somewhere past the pain

Chorus

Heaven is a place

Heaven is a place

Where my people ain't got no more sorrow

Heaven is a place

Heaven is a place

I'll see you on the other side tomorrow

Bridge

If it's real then save me a seat

If it's real then keep the porch light on for me

Tell my brother I'm still keeping his name

Tell my mama that I made it through the flame

Chorus

Heaven is a place

Heaven is a place

Where my people ain't got no more sorrow

Heaven is a place

Heaven is a place

I'll see you on the other side tomorrow

Outro

Mm

I'll see you

Mm-hmm
