lyrics

Old man sits alone
In a tiny room veteran’s home
Ambushed by age
His wife long passed away
Three kids still remain
He’s wondering where they are

Heaven’s a knife Heaven’s a key
That cuts through the flesh to set you free

He was a proud dad dedicated
War hero celebrated
A blue moon ago
But in night’s rising tide
These moments swept aside
He’s wondering where they are

Heaven’s a knife Heaven’s a key
That cuts through the flesh to set you free

Hi kids visit twice a week
Faces he’s happy to meet… again
He doesn’t know their names
A mere trace of himself
A father they can’t help
They’re wondering where you are

Heaven’s a knife Heaven’s a key
That cuts through the flesh to set you free
