Heaven isn’t meant for me
It’s for the dreamers and the seekers
It’s for the lovers and the mothers
It belongs to the memory keepers
The gates open for the brave and the strong
Extended for the needlessly broken and
The ones that never belonged
Greeted by the angels, welcoming them in song
Singing for the disparaged and the disheartened
Not for the ones that surrendered
Not for the ones that gave up everything
The lights lead in the beautiful
Not just of the face but of the soul
Not me, I let the world take its toll
I didn’t fight
I just let go
No, heaven isn’t meant for me
It is for all that I was meant for but could never really be
