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.

  • Yes could of said just heaven , But Heavenly swings line

    thanks for listening and God Bless RDM
