Watching from heaven

Don’t cry when you feel that quiet in the room

I’m closer than you think, I promise you

Heaven ain’t so far, it’s just a breath away

I see every smile, I hear every prayer you say

There’s a little screen up here, plays my favorite show

Y’all laughing in the kitchen, moving life along

I wish I could tell you I never really left

I just learned how to love you without the weight

Chorus

I ran straight into Jesus’ arms

No more fear and no more scars

And for the first time I could stay

I finally held my babies, didn’t have to let go

He wiped my tears, said, “Child, you’re home”

Tell my heart it’s okay to rest

I’m whole, I’m free, I’m finally blessed

Verse 2

I watch Mama when she thinks no one can see

Daddy staring out the window talking to me

Tell them I’m proud of the way they stand

Even when the world feels like sinking sand

I see their strength, I see their pain

I wish they knew I don’t hurt anymore, not a single day

I sit beside them in the late night quiet

I wrap them up in peace when the tears start fighting

Chorus

I ran straight into Jesus’ arms

No more needles, no alarms

Every prayer led me here

I finally held my babies, felt their heartbeat slow

Heaven sang when I said hello

Tell my heart it’s okay to rest

I’m whole, I’m free, I’m finally blessed

Verse 3

I was there for every first breath drawn

Every miracle the day your babies were born

I stood right there when they cried out loud

I kissed their heads, I whispered proud

I’m the shadow walking just behind

Your kids, your boys, every piece of mine

When they laugh, when they fall, when they pray at night

That’s me reminding them they’re gonna be alright

Bridge

When you feel a chill or a sudden calm

Or a peace you can’t explain come on strong

That’s just me checking in, passing through

Guardian wings wrapped around you

Heaven trusted me with that job

Loving them is sacred work from God

Final Chorus

I ran straight into Jesus’ arms

Where there’s no pain and no alarm

Where every broken thing gets new

I finally held my babies, and I hold you too

Through every hard thing you’ll make it through

Don’t say goodbye, say “see you then”

I’ll be watching till we meet again

Outro

So live loud, love deep, don’t be afraid

I’ll see you on the other side of every hard day

Just look up when your heart feels stressed

I’m home… but I’m not gone… not yet 🤍
