Mom, send me a letter today…
Awake but I'm dreaming, I sleep but don't rest
My heart's still beating but lies broken inside my chest
Feet on the ground and still falling, I'm brave but I fear
I rejoice yet I feel so sad, You're missed so much down here
Send me a letter from heaven; tell me about your place
Paint me the view from your window, are the streets made of gold like they say
Do you reach out and touch the hand of God each and every day
Send me a letter from heaven to read today
I cry out but it's muted, I can hear but there's no sound
I can see but it's dark outside, though the sun's still shining down
I'm healthy but homesick, I'm still young but feel old
I'm numb but I still feel the pain and it's just not letting go
My ears miss your voice; my eyes miss your face
My skin misses your touch and the whole world misses your grace
I'm still sad but rejoicing, I still ask why but don't know
Tears still fill my eyes from time to time; I just try not to let them show
I'm still tired but rest easy, I've been hurt but I'm strong
I still feel lost at times but I know that I'll find the faith to carry on
