Bob Shaw - Long Distance Call from Earth to Heaven

                LONG DISTANCE CALL FROM EARTH TO HEAVEN

LONG DISTANCE CALL FROM EARTH TO HEAVEN

AIN’T NOBODY EVER ANSWER, I CAN NEVER GET THROUGH

LONG DISTANCE CALL FROM EARTH TO HEAVEN

IS THERE ANYBODY THERE? CAN’T YOU HEAR MY PRAYERS?

SOMETIMES I SIT AND WONDER WHY

SOMETIMES I SIT AND I CRY

WHY IS THE LORD SO FAR AWAY

WHY CAN’T  I SEE  HIM TODAY

LONG DISTANCE CALL FROM EARTRH TO HEAVEN

AIN’T NOBODY EVER ANSWER, I CAN NEVER GET THROUGH

LONG DISTANCE CALL FROM EARTH TO HEAVEN

IS THERE ANYBODY THERE? CAN’T YOU HEAR MY PRAYERS?

THEN ONE DAY, I FINALLY GOT AN ANSWER

ONE DAY, I FINALLY GOT THROUGH

IN A DREAM AN ANGEL SAID TO ME

IT’S A LOCAL CALL LET ME PLACE THE CALL FOR YOU

YOU SEE HE LIVES WITHIN YOU, HE LIVES ALL AROUND YOU

AND THERE ARE NO LONG DISTANCE CALLS  FROM EARTH TO HEAVEN

CAUSE THE LINES ARE OPEN ALL THE TIME

IT’S A LOCAL CALL

ITS JUST A LOCAL CALL    ITS JUST A LOCAL CALL 

ITS JUST A LOCAL CALL

IT’S A LOCAL CALL
