Racing The Angels

Last night I dreamed I was standing at Heaven's gate
 Calling out your name but no one ever came
 Can't find no mercy, no comfort without you here
 God it just ain't fair but I'm sending up a prayer
 There'll come a day, one sweet day
 When I fly, when I fly
 I'll be racing the angels all the way home
 When I die, gonna fly
 Racing the angels into your arms
 It's just grace and gravity keeps me here
 Keeps me on the ground, my soul earth bound
 I know you'd hate to see it the shape I'm in
 This ain't no way to live, and God knows
 What I'd give to see your face, your sweet face
 When I fly, when I fly
 I'll be racing the angels all the way home
 When I die, gonna fly
 Racing the angels into your arms
