Father, I was wondering At a quarter past eleven Do I have a place reserved With you up in heaven **Tell me what you have done boy In your life for this Have you brought enough good To make it on my list** Father, at times I have sinned But ultimately I love Please tell me you can feel this From high above Through life I have done things That are not good enough I sometimes blame you world As it is mighty tough But I'm always trying to grow And I do try each day To be a better man And follow what you say Although I hold now religion We instinctively know your law If I follow this alone Will I get through heavens door I am genuine with intentions And here I'm being sincere Can you answer me honestly And help ease my fear **Be patient and strong boy I have heard no bell I'll reserve you a place If you continue to do well** **And when the time comes If you continue to do well You'll be worthy of this As you've done well through hell**

Dear Father
Father, I was wondering At a quarter past eleven Do I have a place reserved With you up in heaven **Tell me what you have done boy In your life for this Have you brought enough good To make it on my list** Father, at times I have sinned But ultimately I love Please tell me you can feel this From high above Through life I have done things That are not good enough I sometimes blame you world As it is mighty tough But I'm always trying to grow And I do try each day To be a better man And follow what you say Although I hold now religion We instinctively know your law If I follow this alone Will I get through heavens door I am genuine with intentions And here I'm being sincere Can you answer me honestly And help ease my fear **Be patient and strong boy I have heard no bell I'll reserve you a place If you continue to do well** **And when the time comes If you continue to do well You'll be worthy of this As you've done well through hell**
