Why God Brought Me Here
by Van Zant

Album: Always Look Up

f I could fly up to the sky, in Heaven
If only for a moment in my dreams
I'd see all my loved ones who has gone before me
God, open up the clouds and let me see

I don't want to wake up, if I'm dreaming

I'd thank you Lord for showing me
Just how heaven's going to be
The smile on my face is wide
I can't believe my eyes
Over there is Uncle Gee
Mama cookin' collard greens
Oh, Lord, it's Lindsay Michelle
My sister, Marlene, and there's Bill
Grandma Francis wearing red high heels
Oh, this dream, Lord, it seems so real
That's why God brought me here
And I don't wanna leave (I don't wanna leave)

I want to catch up and spend some time with my brother
Oh, Lord, it's been a long, long time
I'd love to hear one of Daddy's old stories
They will always be heroes in my mind

I don't want to wake up, if I'm dreaming

I'd thank you Lord for showing me
Just how heaven's going to be
The smile on my face is wide
I can't believe my eyes
Over there is Uncle Gee
Mama cookin' collard greens
Oh, Lord, it's Lindsay Michelle
My sister, Marlene, and there's Bill
Grandma Francis wearing red high heels
Oh, this dream, Lord, it seems so real
That's why God brought me here

Oh, there's not a day that goes by, that I don't think of you
Your memories will never fade
I'll see you all again someday
That's why God brought me here

I wanna thank you Lord for showing me
Just how heaven's going to be
The smile on my face is wide
I can't believe my eyes
Over there is Uncle Gee
Mama cookin' collard greens
Oh, Lord, it's Lindsay Michelle
My sister, Marlene, and there's Bill
Grandma Francis wearing red high heels
Yeah, Grandma Francis in her red high heels
That's why God brought me here
And I don't want to leave (I don't want to leave)

Over there is Joanne and Uncle Bubby
