I'm Not The Only One Asking - Mindy Smith

Bird on the telephone wire

Come down and sing to me

Have you heard from my father

Have you any news to bring

I know I’m not the only one asking

Among wandering souls down here

Can you shout it from the highest peak

Or at least whisper it in my ear

I knocked on the door of my neighbor

To ask him if he had received

The holy key to heaven

My father promised me

I know I’m not the only one waiting

Among wandering souls down here

So, brother, if you know the answer

Please, whisper it in my ear

I’m reaching for heaven

Down on my knees, down on my knees

I’m finally getting nearer to heaven

And nearer to thee

I know I’m not the only one asking

Among wondering souls down here

Can you shout it from the highest peak

Or at least whisper it in my ear

Bird on the telephone wire

Come down and sing to me
