Why Keep Heaven Waiting

Why keep heaven waiting?
Why not see it now?
What's the point in wasting all this time?

Why keep heaven waiting?
I could be looking down
All these fruitless mountains I would climb

Surely God can forgive my impatience
Just a lost little child he won't burn
And if he won't just come down here and save us
Tell me why I must wait for my turn

When I have run out of reasons to live
I've given all that I can give
Send me an angel

Why keep heaven waiting?
I need to know the truth
Why aren't we just dancing to our deaths?

Sit and watch us fading
Never given proof
Why not stop this sick and twisted test?

Surely God can forgive my impatience
In this cruel little world he designed
And if I can forgive his complacence
Does his punishment still fit my crime

When I have run out of reasons to live
I've given all that I can give
Am I ungrateful?
When I listened to all of the lies
Cried all the tears I can cry
Send me an angel

And what if you're wrong?
What if there's no one waiting?
No one I'm disobeying
No one to hear me praying

(Why keep heaven waiting?)

I have run out of reasons to live
I've given all that I can give
Am I ungrateful?
'Cause I listened to all of the lies
Cried all the tears I can cry
Send me an angel or let me die
