I went to a booth to make a call
To my mom so very good and all
Who got caught in a crash that day
Her death was what made me wearily sway
I tell the man "I need spare cash
There is a number I need to bash"
I dialed 1 on the phone
Expecting a known lovely tone
Instead I hear a beep
And it returned the change it ought to keep
I would give my life for that voice
I would do anything given a choice
To dial heaven and hear her speak
The gentle voice so timid and meek.
I held the phone in my hand and cried
I sobbed and moaned and finally sighed
I cried and cried and tried and tried
Then came a voice that left me tongue tied
"Who up here do you want?"
"If it's heaven I speak to I won't truant
I need my mother's voice of bells
For without it I feel like empty shells"
"Soon you won't have to wait
Your time will come according to fate"
"I want her with me now and forever"
"I'm not one who will hold you apart ever"
The child happy now
Crosses the road in bliss
Then came a car and POW!!
He left without a hiss
He saw his mother in the end
With tears in his eyes
And with her hand in his they are sent
To paradise.
