The heavens they were opening
They had been closed for quite a while
And I thought with a hoping thing
That smiled like a crocodile
I thought what has heaven given to me
When it opens
Like manna, like gifts of friendship
Or of life
I thought of the many times
I have wanted a wife
Heaven had been closed yes
With sign saying out for lunch
Will be back in 5 decades
After the credit crunch
So I turned away from Saint Peter
I looked back then at Saint Paul
I said I don't know if you remember
But you were once called Saul
And you had these same problems
That in life I am so incumbered
He said life's problems are in the hundreds
But by life's gifts they are outnumbered
Like the stars in the heavenly sky
Try counting all your blessings
You have been rescued from many worse fates
By the fortitude of those who stand next to you
And not one of them would hesitate
To come to your aid or to your side
If they knew the trouble you were in
They care for you with great pride
