safe haven

Lyrics

my papa was a big 'ol man, he held the world and me in the palm of his hand, he held us altogether, the family corner stone, his voice was deep just like his fate, he'd always call me, "sugar babe", and what i wouldn't give to hear "i love you" one more time, he loved to read john 3:16, tapped along to hymns we'd sing, he left us so much more than earthly things, sometimes when there's no answer, or no reason for the pain, and i just can't wrap my head around the wire of things that come my way, i still believe you hold a place for us in heaven, so even when my faith on earth is shaken, you're my safe haven, he said my home's not here, no i'm not bound, my home is built on higher ground, and where i'm going, oh goodbye don't mean a thing, there's gonna be some things i miss, but don't forget god promises we'll be together on the other side, sometimes when there's no answer, or no reason for the pain, and i just can't wrap my head around the wire of things that come my way, i still believe you hold a place for us in heaven, so even when my faith on earth is shaken, you're my safe haven, ooh, ooh, oh, it's comfort for my heart that breaks, to know you're in a better place, and that i'll see your loving face again, i still believe you hold a place for us in heaven, so even when my faith on earth is shaken, you're my safe haven, you're my safe haven, my papa was a big 'ol man, he held the world and me in the palm of his hand
