Verse 1
I know you’re safe, I know you’re home,
But there’s an ache within my soul
All I want to do is hold you close
Your precious face is all I see
Each breath I take I’m gripped with grief
A mother shouldn’t have to let her baby go

Pre Chorus
When I wonder what you’re doing now,
it brings me just a little peace somehow

Chorus 1
Are you running up and down the golden streets,
Or riding on a lion’s back through fields of green?
Do you wear a sparkly princess crown
at tea parties with Jesus on a cloud ?
Are you soaring through the sky on eagles wings,
Or playing angels in a game of hide & seek?
Though you’re snuggled in the Father’s lap,
I would still give anything to have you back
Oh, I know He’ll bring me home to you someday
But Heaven is too far away

Verse 2
I’ve yelled at God, I’ve said my words,
I’ve cried until my eyes have burned
It’s agony to make it through each day
Yet in the depths of my despair,
I feel His presence meet me here
I’m carried by a peace I can’t explain, knowing

Chorus 2
You are chasing butterflies in summer’s breeze
And swimming with the dolphins in the crystal seas
Bedtime stories happen on the moon
as Jesus sings a lullaby for you
You stay up late to watch your dreams play out again
As galaxies shine brilliantly above your head
This is the most fun you’ve ever had,
but I would still give anything to hear you laugh
Oh, I know He’ll bring me home to you someday
But Heaven is too far away

Bridge
Hallelujah! He is good,
My heart will choose to say:
Hallelujah! He is good
Blessed be His Name

Final Chorus
Though I’ll never understand the reason why
A good and loving God would make us say goodbye
Every single joy we’re missing here,
we will have eternity to share!
Someday I’ll come bursting through those gates of pearls
And wrap you in my arms forever, my Sweet Girl
In the land where there is no more pain,
we’ll praise the God who gives and takes away
Oh, I know He’ll bring me home to you someday
But Heaven is too far away
