One night, as six-year old Laura and her eight-year old brother slept, she heard what she thought was the sound of a car backfiring . . . she ran from her room to see if her mother was ok. Laura will never forget what she saw next . . . her mother, lying still in a pool of blood, had been murdered by one of the men she had been seeing. At age 8, Laura came to live at the Ranch, where she flourished and began the long process of healing. As part of that process, Laura wrote a poem about her memories, and a song was derived from her poem and story. I Believe in HeavenVocal: Sara Hickman Words and Music: Diana Jones |

| My mother loved me, my father never said. Late at night I could hear them fight from my room inside my bed. My brother is quiet, he’s angry deep inside. I remember when he was happy before our mother died. Chorus: |
My dreams are scary, I dream about that day. Thought I heard a car backfire and then they took my mom away. But sometimes I see her when my dreams are really good. She touches my hair, whispers in my ear, "I would be with you if I could." Chorus |
