Song Title: If Heaven Had Visiting Time
Vibe: Smooth, Private School Amapiano Soul
(Intro)
(Soft, rhythmic shakers and a warm Rhodes piano)
What is life?
It’s a question with no answer.
I’m just here, looking at the sky,
Wondering if you can see me now.
(Verse 1)
I’m standing exactly where you said I’d be,
Everything we talked about, it’s all in front of me.
But the chair is empty, and the room feels cold,
The stories I have for you are starting to get old.
I’m making these hits, I’m finally on the screen,
But it’s hard to celebrate a life you haven’t seen.
(Chorus)
Oh, if Heaven had visiting time,
I’d be the first one standing in the queue.
I wouldn’t ask for much, just a moment or two,
To show you the trophies and the path I had to choose.
I miss your voice, but I can’t hear a sound,
I’m looking for your spirit in this crowded town.
If Heaven had visiting time... I’d bring you back home.
(Bridge - The Log Drum Drop)
(The bass becomes deep and "bouncy" but stays mellow)
Life promised us everything,
But it left us with these memories.
I’m winning the race, but I’m losing my mind,
Trying to find a peace that’s so hard to find.
I wish you were here.
I really wish you were here.
(Verse 2)
They tell me "Time is a healer," but I think they’re wrong,
Time just makes the silence feel twice as long.
Every "Congratulations" feels a little bit hollow,
Because you aren't here for the lead or the follow.
I’d tell the gatekeeper to just let me in,
For one single hour, let the visit begin.
(Outro)
(Music strips back to just the bass pulse and a distant sax)
Visiting time...
Just sixty minutes.
I’d tell you I made it.
I’d tell you I love you.
What is life?
Maybe life is just waiting... until I see you again.
(Fade out)
