“I Will Meet My Heaven”
by Abigail Jones
I been livin’ the sweet life
Or so it seems
Everything in my life
Has a sugar coating
But when dark clouds roll in
And the rain’s pourin’ down
I find that livin’ the sweet life
Ain’t as good as it sounds
CHORUS
So when I die, bury me shallow
Bury me on the water’s edge
When that muddy water finds me
I will meet my heaven there
Well I’ve always loved spring
‘Cause that’s when I met you
The breeze was so sweet
And our kiss was so new
But, you know, seasons they change
‘Cause that’s what seasons do
I just wish I had known
You’d want me to change, too.
CHORUS
I went down to the river
‘Cause I wanted to know
Why her waters run wild
Why she churns as she flows
But I saw my reflection
And a tear wet my cheek
It ain’t the river that’s ragin’
It’s something deep within me
CHORUS + ALTRO
