when you re like a broken bird tell heaven battered wings against a darkened day when your worries won t let you sleep tell heaven when the tears won t ever go away if you got no one to love tell heaven there s no one on the telephone today when every story falls apart tell heaven nothing good seems like it ll come your way tell heaven tell heaven with heavy hearts and empty rooms tell heaven you don t have to know what you will say the empty sky may never take our burdens but something good will someday come our way so tell heaven tell heaven
