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..

  • Well I'm a fan of upbeat of sad subjects , She's in heaven , So its not that sad

    Thanks

    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.
