1-800-HEAVEN

At times I cried
I looked my daddy straight into his eyes
And asked his where my mommy at
He always told me she was in the sky
Seen all of the other kids with theirs and I wanted mine
And when I asked about you
Heaven is the place where
They said you were but all I knew is that you weren't here
And though I knew that you were out of reach
I tried to pick up the phone and call anyway 'cause mama

I wanna say I love you
I'm thinking of you
I wish you were here
I just wanna ask you mama why'd you leave me
What did I do to deserve to be a motherless child
I look up to the clouds
I'm hoping you can hear me
You'll never answer but I'll sit and
Let this phone ring all day and night
And although my calls won't go through here's what I'll do
I'll leave a message to you
I'll leave a message to you mama
Hey mommy
Um, I hope you can hear me
I'm not sure if you can get any of my messages up there but
I just wanted to tell you that I love you and I miss you
And I hope that one day I get to see your face
I had another dream about you today
You were reaching your arms out for me
But I couldn't make it into your arms before the dream was over
You got my daddy and my sister up there with you now so
I'm hoping that you're not as lonely as I am without y'all
I'm not sure why all of y'all left me here alone but
I'm trying to figure it out
Call me back if you can

Mommy, I love you
I'm thinking of you
I wish you were here
I just wanna ask you mama why'd you leave me
What did I do to deserve to be a motherless child
I look up to the clouds
I'm hoping you can hear me
You'll never answer but I'll sit and
Let this phone ring all day and night
And although my calls won't go through here's what I'll do
I'll leave a message to you
I'll leave a message to you mama
Hey ma, It's me again
It's obvious that I have some type of calling
I still haven't quite figured out what it is yet
But I have so many talents
And I'm hoping that one of them can lead me in the right direction
I'm almost done with school and um
I wish you, daddy and Boopee could be at my graduation but
Even though it's a struggle living without you
It helps to think that in a sense I'm living for you
All of y'all are living through me
And if I fulfill my deed
I'm hoping that I get to see you guys again
See you soon

I wanna say I love you
I'm thinking of you (Mama)
I wish you were here
I just wanna ask you mama why'd you leave me
What did I do to deserve to be a motherless child
I look up to the clouds
I'm hoping you can hear me (Ooo)
You'll never answer but I'll sit and let this phone ring
All day and night
And although my calls won't go through here's what I'll do (Ooo)
I'll leave a message to you
I'll leave a message to you mama (Mama)
