Welcome Faith
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uufSd_XTQk
She was born poor abused by her father
On playgrounds bullied on her weight
Dropped out of school with no future
She was laughed at on blind dates
pre
Eighteen years working at a gas station
Late paramedics her pulse was taken
Ch
Heavenly Heaven welcomed Faith
She got a halo and wings
And flew away
Saw Jesus in his glory
God waved his hand
She's in angel Disneyland
Life handed out nothing but sad
But Heavenly Heaven welcomed Faith
v2
A picture of her next to cigarettes
A tribute of sorts of her smiling face
People say ya never know who's next
The manager said "She just got a raise
pre
Where's she at now no need for that"
I bought chips filled up the tank
Ch
bridge
Clocks keep moving
We barely notice she's gone
Nothing but memories
Wrapped up in this song
Ch
Heavenly Heaven welcomed Faith
She got a halo and wings
And flew away
Saw Jesus in his glory
God waved his hand
She's in angel Disneyland
Life handed out nothing but sad
As church bells on Sunday rang
When Heavenly Heaven welcomed Faith

@ElvisNash - From the category of not a feel good song arises Welcome Faith.. I thought I went dark :)... I like the melody, fits the lyrics. You might have gone a bit more somber with the music, would be my only critic. but that's me..

All round well-polished song, a sad but uplifting song.
Loved the chorus and the vocal timing was just perfect.
Very good piece of work,
Well done.

This puts me in mind of some of Don McLean's lyrics (not the music so much) where he criticizes some of the ills in society through someone's specific story.
Using "Faith" as the name is very clever, works beautifully.
I wasn't sure how 'Heavenly Heaven" would sound, but it also works very well.
Nicely done, Elvis.

It's a true story , But her name wasn't faith , Her name was Cathy . I talked to her co-workers when she died and wrote it
Thanks guys
