Heaven

Umbilical cord hanging from the sky
a rope to heaven would be nice
I refuse to say goodbye

You don’t look the same as you did here
How will I find you again?
The cord that attached us

Can’t be stretched any more
it’s going to break
so lift me off the ground

I’m ready to go
Up....
Up......
Up........
Wherever you are..........
