I'm Not Allowed in Heaven - Sarah Mary Chadwick

Well, I’m not allowed in Heaven

And I’m trapped here by the sea

And I’m not allowed in Heaven

And its gates do not open for me

Well, I see its lights shine bright

And they’re waving at me through the trees

But I’m not allowed in Heaven

'Til I burn all the sin from me

Well, I’m not allowed in Heaven

I got lied to when I was young

'Cause life’s not about being happy, Sarah

Life’s not about having fun

But I never could fill in the blanks then

And if not fun, then what is life for?

And now I’m just endlessly searching

Without even knowing what for

And I need a promise of sorts

A guarantee something will change

But I’m not allowed in Heaven

There are no guarantees there, I’m afraid

And I see its lights shining bright

They’re waving at me through the trees

But I’m not allowed in Heaven

'Til I burn all the sin from me

And I’m not allowed in Heaven

'Til I burn all the sin from me
