Give Me My Piece Of Heaven
Bake it up, spice it up, in a consoling word
Ring it up in a soothing tone, beside my sick bed today
Give me my piece of heaven now and tone down that pain
A slice of heaven each little time with me
Give me a piece of heaven now,
Coin it up in that word of life, a pregnant promise of life
Paint it up on that assuring smile on your face and I shrive
Rain it down with that laughter that warms my weighted heart
Serve it close in that touch, from that chair beside my bed.
Give me a piece of heaven now,
Write it up in those beautiful strength lines on the sparkly card
To buoy my spirit up and help me fly over imaginary mountains
Scribble those lines that promise me a tomorrow fading away
Those lines floating off the page to support me into life
Give me a piece of heaven now,
Say a small prayer that anchors my courage and hope
Relieve my guardian angel of a surveillance long and weary
Call on heaven for more keepers, caring hearts to surround me
Oh, give me a piece of heaven now.
