I'm huddled in the corner of a cinderblock bunkhouse
Lightning lights the forest, a tornado has touched down
And God is in his heaven, and Nick is in his hell
The windows are all rattled and the kids ain't doing well
And I can't let go of heaven up above this angry sky
I don't know if the angels all live there
But I know I'm scared to die
I held your hand yesterday, my body spoke to me
But now the awful truth, God watches all the time
And I know you don't love me, someday I'll feel the same
But tonight we close our eyes so tight and pray in Jesus' name
And I can't let go of heaven up above this angry sky
I don't know if the angels all live there
But I know I'm scared to die
Let the sky open up and let your light shine down
Give me a halo as a crown
Send me to heaven, but I'm not ready now,
No, no, I'm not ready now
