Papa never missed a day of work in his life he had to hold it down for his kids and his wife,
He taught us love and wrong from right true respect for life,
I was in the shop when they told me the news holding back tears trying to say it wasnt true,
U were my strength my shining light a hero dressed in blue.
[Chorus:]
Tell god that im trying to keep my head up to the sky,
Strong like a solider but he never said goodbye,
Operator can i get an open line,
I just want to know
[Chorus2:]
Can a cell phone reach to heaven,
You were always my best friend and im dying to hear your voice again.
Can a cell phone reach to heaven,
I pray to god above i'll dial a perfect seven can my cell phone reach to....
If you ever lost someone you know where im coming from,(holler)
His clothes were old but he always kept them pressed every time he blew he'd buy mama a new dress,
When friends were broke no need to ask he would always give his last,
True definaition of a family man when i would strike out he was my biggest fan,
He said a man must loose to win go out and try again.
[Chorus]
[Chorus2]
If you ever lost someone you know where im coming from (sing it)
If you ever lost someone you know where im coming from,
On the whispers of the rising sun,
That distant voice will come once again, once again, once again, once again.
If you ever lost someone you know where im coming from,
On the whispers of the rising sun,
That distant voice will come once again, once again, once again, once again.
Can a cell phone reach to heaven,(cell phone, oohh, reach to heaven ya'll)
You were always my best friend and im dying to hear your voice again. (i gotta hear your voice, )
Can a cell phone reach to heaven,(oh yeah)
I pray to god above i'll dial a perfect seven
And my cell phone reaches, (can my cell phone reach to heaven)
[Chorus 2x]
