It's a long way from heaven

But I feel I'm almost there

If I can't get up to Jesus

And I can't find

no place to land

I will keep my

secrets to myself

There's no-one but me

who could understand

When all the other birds

have fallen from the sky

How will we ever

get back home again?

Almost to heaven

I can hear the angels sing

Almost to heaven

Fly me up there love

on these wings

Take this fighting

Make it forgiveness

Is there honor in

what we've done?

Flow my soul

up to the ocean

Sing my better

song with that gun

When all the other birds

have fallen from the sky

How will we ever

get back home again?

When all the other birds

have fallen from the sky

How will we ever

get back home again?

How will we ever

get back home again?
