Welcome Faith
https://hearthis.at/elvis-nash-xk/faith-1/
She was born poor abused by her father
On playgrounds bullied on her weight
Dropped out of school with no future
She was laughed at on blind dates
pre
Eighteen years working at a gas station
Late paramedics her pulse was taken
Ch
Heavenly Heaven welcomed Faith
She got a halo and wings
And flew away
Saw Jesus in his glory
God waved his hand
She's in angel Disneyland
Life handed out nothing but sad
But Heavenly Heaven welcomed Faith
v2
A picture of her next to cigarettes
A Tribute of sorts of her smiling face
People say ya never know who's next
The manager said "She just got a raise
pre
Where's she at now no need for that"
I bought chips filled up the tank
Ch
bridge
Clocks keep moving
We barley notice she's gone
Nothing but memories
Wrapped up in this song
Ch
Heavenly Heaven welcomed Faith
She got a halo and wings
And flew away
Saw Jesus in his glory
God waved his hand
She's in angel Disneyland
Life handed out nothing but sad
As church bells on Sunday rang
When Heavenly Heaven welcomed Faith

Magnificent!! You write some incredibly moving words and the production here is everything I've come to expect from you. We're supposed to offer critique but I can't, other than to say that it's great!
I like this song, can you tell?!!😀

Wow, what a voice, made me sad and smile at the same time. You are a great storyteller. Very personal, Made me feel like someone I knew but also could apply to anyone.
Very powerful chorus

Hey Chris and Kathie
Its actually a true story Kathie , Her name was Cathy worked at a Shell gas station .
I changed her name to Faith for a double meaning in song
Thanks for the kind words.
i'm thrilled you like it.

It's a very good song. And I liked "Faith" as her name.
Not sure it needs "Heavenly Heaven", that feels a little crowded for me, I think "Heaven" would've worked just as well. Though is does give it a unique feel.
Strong story, miles of pathos, and a good match of music to lyric.
Good stuff.
