Song to My Parents (I Only Wanna See You There)
[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
I need to say these things 'cause
I love you so
And I'm sorry you get angry when I say that
You just don't know
That there's a Heaven waiting
For you and me
I know it seems every time we talk
I'm only tryin' to just make you see

[Chorus]
And it's only that I care
I really only want just to see you there

[Verse 2]
Please try and overlook my
My human side
I know I'm such a bad example
And you know I'm so full of pride
But Jesus isn't like that
No, He's perfect all the way
I guess that's why we need Him
'Cause by ourselves, there's just no way
[Chorus]
And it's only that I care
I really, really only want just to see you there
To see you there

[Bridge]
Close the doors
They're just not coming
We sent the invitations out long, long, long, long time ago
We're still gonna have a wedding feast
Big enough to beat them all
The greatest people in the world just wouldn't come
So now we'll just have to invite the small

[Chorus]
And it's only that I care
I really, really only want just to see you there

[Outro]
Isn't that Jesus?
Isn't that Joseph and Mary's son?
Well, didn't He grow up right here?
He played with our children
What? He must be kidding
Thinks He's a prophet
Well, prophets don't grow up from little boys
Do they, from little boys?
Do they?
[Instrumental Outro]
