Questions for Heaven - Chris Rice

Feel the sun in my eyes

Swat that clumsy fly

Woke me up from a dream about Heaven

Smellin' coffee downstairs

Yawn a quick little prayer

And get up at a quarter to seven

Mirror catches my stare

Got some nice pillow hair

And I smile all the way to the bathroom

Scratch my whiskerly chin

Now my cranium swims

With questions I can’t wait to ask Him

Like: Why did You bother with so many stars?

Do You ever play tricks on the angels?

And what happened to all of those dinosaurs?

Where’s the Garden of Eden?

And what causes de ja vu?

I guess in Heaven I’ll learn

I’ll be waiting my turn

To ask about quasars and feathers

I hope the line isn’t long

I hope Your patience is strong

It’s a good thing forever’s forever

Do our jokes make You laugh?

What’s Your favorite cartoon?

Can You tell me what’s out past the edges?

And what about UFOs, taste buds, and tornados?

Why do we dream?

Oh, and what causes de ja vu?

Time to call it a day

Time to turn off my brain

It’s already half past eleven

Reach to turn out the light

And close my sleepy eyes

And save up the questions for Heaven

I’ll save all the questions for Heaven

I’m savin' up questions for Heaven
