Call from Heaven

Heavenly whispers, soft and clear

Can you hear me, Lord, are you near?

I’ve got a question, heavy on my heart

Can I reach out, just one last part?

This morning’s silence, my phone’s gone cold

No message from him, stories untold

He sacrificed so much, gave all he could give

A hero’s goodbye, how do I forgive?

He’s in a better place, I know it’s true

But I need to talk, I need to ask you

Is there a line in heaven, a number I can dial?

To hear his voice again, even just a while?

Heavenly Lord, can you connect me?

To the operator up above

I just want to speak to my brother

To tell him I still love

Is there a phone in heaven that I can call?

One last moment, to hear him at all

He’s gone but I miss him so

Can I call my brother in heaven, Lord?

Seven feet five, a Marine proud and tall

Fought for freedom, answered the call

But why now, Lord, did you take him away?

Leaving dreams and children, trying to find my way

So I ask again, with hope and pain

Is there a number in the celestial domain?

Just a little time, just a small reply

To hear his voice, to say goodbye.
