DESCRIPTION:
I played this song one time after Zac passed away, at his family's benefit in Houston, Texas. I've had requested many times to provide a recording of this, Jaydena his mother Jaydena was kind enough to add some pictures that were needed. Miss and love you, Zac. Lyrics follow.

INTRO “CHURCH BELLS”
Chord or bells, strike three times, let it ring out

INTRO CHORUS:
Don't you wish he was comin' home
Don't you wish he was here
Don't you wish he'd bust through that door
And this pain would disappear

They made Zac in Oklahoma
broke the mold or so they say
got lost some down in Texas
Oklahoma's where he'll stay
His daughter he loved dearly
mom and dad he loved, as well
Now they mourn him up in Velma
with ev'ry ring of that church bell

CHORUS "CHURCH BELLS":
Chord or bells, strike two times, let it ring out

CHORUS:
Don't you wish he was comin' home
Don't you wish he was here
Don't you wish he'd bust through that door
And magically appear
Don't you wish he was here right now
Don't you wish he would sing
Don't you wish he'd strike a chord
And keep living out his dream

CHORUS "CHURCH BELLS":
Chord or bells, strike two times, let it ring out

Zac's at peace in Oklahoma
laid in the ground today
We miss him down in Texas
but Velma's where he'll stay
Family has now buried him
hard to believe he's gone
Though one day the tears will stop
his songs and memory linger on

CHORUS "CHURCH BELLS":
Chord or bells, strike two times, let it ring out

CHORUS:
Don't you wish he was comin' home
Don't you wish he was here
Don't you wish he'd bust through that door
And magically appear
Don't you wish he was here right now
Don't you wish he would sing
Don't you wish he'd strike a chord
And keep living out his dream


OUTRO CHORUS:
...We all wish he was here right now
so we could hear him sing
but he's now a star on Heaven's stage...
forever livin' out his dream...

OUTRO “CHURCH BELLS”
If bells, strike three times, let it ring out.
If chord, strike twice, let it ring out, and
then one slow strum out.
