Lori McKenna - Still Down Here lyrics

rate me

St. Peter says “You picked a real good day”

Your lungs fill back up with air - your worries float away

Jesus smiles - he’s a handsome man

He’s taller than you thought - eyes so warm - reaching out his hand

In the Holy Kingdom angels sing a hymn

For all your good behavior they handed you your crown & wings

You don’t feel the sorrow, there’s no pain no fear

don’t forget about me - don’t forget about me

I’m still down here

Everyone knew - you were on your way

Earlier than expected, said the papers that day

You saw your family - some for the very first time

There were smiling faces, strawberry cake and a welcome home sign

In the Holy Kingdom angels sing a hymn

For all your good behavior they handed you your crown & wings

You don’t feel the sorrow, there’s no pain or fear

don’t forget about me - don’t forget about me

I’m still down here

Here in the shadow-land - Here where there’s doubt

Here where we must learn to live - With what we live with out

Clouds of silver and streets of gold

Where no shadow is cast - and nobodies growing old

You find an old friends and take a walk around

But believe them when they say - “tell you one thing - just don’t look down”

In the holy kingdom - angels sing a hymn

stay there above the clouds now - don’t ever shed one tear

Don’t forget about me - don’t forget about me,

I’m still down here...
