Sounds of Heaven

© 1991 Michael D. Renneker

Sometimes people can be so cynical

So critical and so quick to judge

I’ve gotta fight with myself

I don’t want to be that way

I wanna embrace every day with something good to say and listen

Chorus

To the sounds of heaven

To the sounds of heaven

To the sounds of the music of your heart

And the music of your soul

The sounds of heaven

I had a dream last night

The sun did not come up

People standing in the darkness but they were not afraid

There were no boundaries of age, class or color

Everybody wanted to stay

Everybody wanted to just listen

Chorus

I wanna know what they say, I wanna know what they say

I believe they’re tryin to reach us now

I wann know what they know, I wanna know what they know

I want them to know I care

I’ve got family up there

I do believe there are souls

Shouting down from the sky

Their words are clear if we just

Listen between the lines

Their pain is over but they

Still have a message for us

I know my grandpa’s up there

He’s saying “boy you oughta listen …”
