Lori McKenna - Still Down Here lyrics

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 she'd one tear Don't forget about me - don't forget about me, I'm still down here...
