The things you need to stay alive

Aren't the things you need to live

Give ten percent to little smiles

You get back what you give

And I know that it sounds crazy

But try hot sauce on your pb&j

Have you ever thought just maybe

Change the name of worry to pray.

Today I got a letter from heaven

Cleanin' out my mamaw's house

I just smiled while I read it

I swear I heard her voice out loud

She said I love you, god is real

And now I get it

Today I got a letter from heaven.

No one knows what they're doin'

When it comes to raisin' kids

So know that you're just human

To everyone but them

And I know you and your daddy

Don't talk too much anymore

Forgiveness might be a long road

But life is short.

Today I got a letter from heaven

Cleanin' out my mamaw's house

I just smiled while I read it

I swear I heard her voice out loud

She said I love you, god is real

And now I get it

Today I got a letter from heaven

A letter from heaven.

I bet she would have gave it to me

The next time I came home

But life got in the way

And she couldn't wait that long.

Today I got a letter from heaven

Cleanin' out my mamaw's house

I called you after I read it

Hoping maybe we could work things out

Someone told me if we didn't, I'd regret it

Today I got a letter from heaven

A letter from heaven

A letter from heaven.
