There's a rain cloud outside my window
And I know I'm not the only one
Who thinks it's raining holy water
And these voices won't stop, won't stop singing
When I'm gone, I wanna be
Where the ghost and the angels sing
Even God would agree
That somebody better pray for me
I hope it's not too late for me, I hope someday you pray for me
'Cause everything I say, it seems you lose a little faith in me
When I was young, I'd make-believe that you'd be there to wait for me
Well, I've been waiting patiently and wandering so aimlessly
And everything I've done comes and haunts me in my dreams
I'm the ghost I can't outrun, so I'm afraid to fall asleep
So here I go again, down the only road I know
And you can walk me through the gates if you could only save my soul
I'll close my eyes, you can tell me when it's over
Sometimes it's like I got the world on my shoulders
I'm getting older while people getting colder
Searching for the beauty, but we've lost the beholder
I'll pick myself up, there's no way that I'll stay down
I spent my whole life searching for another way out
How can we be saved now? I can't even say how
When the only time we pray is when we're on our way down
When I'm gone, I wanna be
Where the ghost and the angels sing
Even God would agree
That somebody better pray for me
There ain't nobody worse than me, the only one who's hurting me
Is all my insecurities, they keep on reassuring me
I'll never get out what I've been holding within
There's too much that I doubt, so I can't even pretend
I'm afraid of these sins, they're getting under my skin
And every time I try to pray, I don't know where to begin
Well, that's the way that it goes, whatever way the wind blows
Is this the life that I chose? Well, I think God only knows
One day you're gonna get what you got coming for you
One day you're gonna get what you got coming for you
One day you're gonna get what you got coming for you
One day you're gonna get what you got coming for you
When I'm gone, I wanna be
Where the ghost and the angels sing
Even God would agree
That somebody better pray for me
When I'm gone, I wanna be
Where the ghost and the angels sing
Even God would agree
That somebody better pray for me
