When I Was in Heaven (Michael Stegner)
Originally Released on the album Fascination Nation
Lyrics:
When I was in heaven
before I was born
I would sing, I would play
in the clouds with the angels and their harps.
They gathered me around
and said my time had come.
Then the angels sang this song for me
to prepare me for the world...
"Sometimes your brains will hurt.
Sometimes your food won't taste quite right.
And sometimes you won't get what you want -
That's more often than not."
I don't want to hear any more.
I just want to stay where I am.
I can't wait to be big and strong.
I'll just run around and do whatever I want.
What do I need to do
to stay up here with you?
I don't want to live down there
in that crazy people stew.
"It's not as bad as it seems.
Some people are really nice down there.
Time will go by so fast...
You'll be back here in a flash."
I don't want to listen any more.
I can see with my own two eyes.
People down there - they can't get along.
Whose to say I won't play along?
When I was in heaven,
before I was born.
The angels sang this song for me
to prepare me for the world.

"Listen to it at work everyday and your wife will be hotter than me in weeks." - Sofia Vergara
Dear Lord,
Give me a coat. Give me a tie.
Give me a home that sits nice and high above the town I love.
Give me three cars. Give me a shave.
Give me a wife that makes me look good in front of all my friends.
Give me a bank for my daily bread
Give me a coat. Give me a tie.
Give me a home that sits nice and high above the town I love.
Give me three cars. Give me a shave.
Give me a wife that makes me look good in front of all my friends.
Give me a bank for my daily bread
and I will pick stocks that double every year.
Forgive all my debts until I collect mine.
Forgive all my debts until I collect mine.
I'll give you 6 percent - if I can keep 10.
Give me a couch. Give me a tube.
Give me a show that takes me away to a place where people look like me.
Give me a steak. Give me some fries.
Give me a plate that is full every meal so I can sleep at night.
Give me a heart made of gold like my smile.
I'll earn people's trust and ask them for the sale.
I will mention your name when it works in my favor.
All in your name.
Amen.
