Story behind the song
This song was inspired by the numerous reports of our fallen soldiers during this on-going Iraq conflict, and the innocent children who are now growing up without their hero's. I wrote this back in 2004 when it was initially the Hot topic, but today it seems like very few notice or even care that this war is still going on today and we are still loosing our soldiers!
Lyrics
To Heaven From Me (c)Colleen Laylon-Frost, words and music BMI 2008) All rights reserved Demo Credit-Midi Magic Studios-Gerry Peters Producer! V1 Tried to be brave as she waved her flag hugged her Mama tight yelled I love you Dad he was off to the war in some foreign land where there was no green grass, only miles of sand V2 Colored him pictures sent her first lost tooth kissed his photo every day they chatted over yahoo late one night soldiers came to their door said, ?sorry he?s gone? her Mama fell to the floor Climb She ran for the phone screamed my Daddy's coming home then with all her strength she pressed zero and cried Chorus Operator can you help me please? Collect call To Heaven From Me need to know if God has seen man wearing Army fatigues Please operator he's my Daddy and we need to speak Collect call To Heaven From Me To Heaven From Me Bridge Now every night when she say's her prayers she asks God to keep the Daddy's safe over there and sometimes when she gets scared she picks up the phone she knows he still cares she says Repeat Chorus Oh, Please operator he?s my Daddy and we need to speak Collect call To Heaven From Me To Heaven From Me ?Colleen Laylon-Frost,BMI,2008
