HEAVEN HELP US STAY

HEAVEN HELP US STAY

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

AUGUST 2018

THE TIME IT TAKES

TO TRACK A FALLING STAR

TO FIND OUT WHO WE ARE

THE YEARS, THE JOYS, THE HURT

THE PAIN ALONG THE WAY 

IT WAS EVERYTHING YOU SAY

AND MORE

AT TIMES I WONDERED WASN'T SURE

BUT I FORCED MYSELF 

TO CARRY ON

OVER AND OVER 

ONE TOO MANY TIMES

 I'D SAY. SURE 

I BARELY GOT AWAY

NOW I'M BURNING OIL

WORKING EXTRA TIME

REACHING FOR ONE THING

AT A TIME

THAT SHOULD OF BEEN MINE

THERE'S NEVER TIME TO STOP

ONE MINUTE YOU'RE ON

AND THE NEXT YOU'RE OFF

YOU'RE READY BUT THEY'RE NOT

YOU HAVE TO WAIT AGAIN

ALWAYS FIGHTING FATE

YOU LEARN TO LET IT GO

BURN OFF REALLY SLOW

IN TIMES IT ALL WORKS OUT

SOMETIMES

LIFE CAN MAKE YOU DOUBT

YOU'RE A PART IN IT ALL

BUT ITS THE MEANS TO AN END

JUST YOU WATCH ME MEND

YOU'RE THE REASON

YOU MAKE IT ALL WORTHWHILE

 YOU CAN MAKE ME SMILE

I'M GRATEFUL

 FOR YOUR LOVE AND GRACE

GOD MUST HOLD A SPECIAL PLACE

FOR YOU

HEAVEN HELP US STAY

BUT IN THE END

ON THAT DAY

HOPE THE WORLDS NOT TOO SAD

HOPE WE'RE ONE AGAIN

JUST YOU AND ME MY LOVE

MY FRIEND

INSPIRATION ALWAYS THERE 

COLLECTED IN MY HEART

NEVER FAR APART

FROM THE ONE I LOVE

EVERYTHING IN YOU

IS JUST A PART OF YOU

IN ME

WE WON'T PASS THIS WAY AGAIN

SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL AND NEW

THAT I GET TO SHARE WITH YOU

I'LL BE ALL THAT YOU NEED

I'LL CARRY ALL THE WEIGHT I CAN

FOR YOU

OH HEAVEN HELP US STAY

OR AT LEAST FIND A WAY

TO GO ON AND PLAY

KEEP SINGING MY SONGS

FOR YOU

PART OF WHAT I DO

YA, HEAVEN HELP US STAY

DON'T LET LIFE GET IN THE WAY

OF SO MANY PRETTY THINGS

IN THIS WORLD TO SEE
