I come to you to answer my prayer I long to know about Heaven After the body dies Where does the soul begin? Where have all the good people gone The people that I love? Have they gone to the garden Where the tree of life grows tall And the weeping is no more? Answer my prayer when a great man falls (Answer my prayer) and the sky is collapsed Answer my prayer, where's the joy in this world? (Answer my prayer) is he home at last? What is my sin, Lord? Where is my joy? I am a motherless child I have no father He was my compass He was the northern star Out on the highway, she came a-racing He didn't know what's to come (ooh-ooh) How can you teach a child about dying Over and over again? (Ooh, ooh, ooh) Answer my prayer when a great man falls (Answer my prayer) and the sky is collapsed Answer my prayer, where's the joy in this world? (Answer my prayer) is he home at last? Home (home at last) at last He is home (home at last) at last Home (home at last) at last He is home (home at last) at last Home at last Home at last Home at last He is home at last (Home at last) yes, he is Yes, he is
