Is this the one you mean Spirit?

Everybody got a room
Everybody got a room
Everybody got a room
In God's Hotel.
Everybody got a room.
Well you'll never see a sign hanging on the door
Sayin 'No vacancies anymore'.


Everybody got wings
Everybody got wings
Everybody got wings
In God's Hotel.
Everybody got wings.
You'll never see a sign hanging on the door
Sayin 'At no time may both feet leave the floor'


Everybody got a harp
Everybody got a harp
Everybody got a harp
In God's Hotel.
Everybody got a harp.
You'll never see a sign hanging on the wall
Sayin 'No harps allowed in the hotel at all'.


Everybody got a cloud
Everybody got a cloud
Everybody got a cloud
In God's Hotel.
Everybody got a cloud.
You'll never see a sign hanging on the wall
Sayin 'Smoking and drinking will be thy downfall'.


Everybody hold a hand
Everybody hold a hand
Everybody hold a hand
In God's Hotel.
Everybody hold a hand.
You'll never see a sign hung up above your door
'No visitors allowed in rooms, By law!'


Everybody's halo shines
Everybody's halo shines
Everybody's halo shines
In God's Hotel.
Everybody's halo lookin' fine.
You won't see a sign staring at you from the wall
Sayin 'Lights out! No burnin the midnight oil!'


Everybody got credit
Everybody got credit
Everybody got credit
In God's Hotel.
Everybody got good credit.
You'll never see a sign stuck on the cash-box drawer
Sayin 'Credit tommorow!!' or 'Want credit?!? Haw, haw haw!!'


Everybody is blind
Everybody is blind
Everybody is blind
In God's Hotel.
Everybody is blind.
You'll never see a sign on the front door
'No red skins. No Blacks. And that means you, baw!'


Everybody is deaf
Everybody is deaf
Everybody is deaf
In God's Hotel.
Everybody is deaf.
You'll never find a sign peeling off the bar-room wall
'Though shalt not blaspheme, cuss, holler or bawl'.


Everybody is dumb
Everybody is dumb
Everybody is dumb
In God's Hotel.
Everybody is dumb.
So you'll never see on the visiting-room wall
'Though shalt not blaspheme, cuss, holler or bawl'.


Everybody got Heaven
Everybody got Heaven
Everybody got Heaven
In God's Hotel.
Everybody got Heaven.
So you'll never see scribbled on the bathroom wall
'Let Rosy get ya Heaven, dial 686-844!'

It took a lot of searching, but I think I found the poem. It was in the poetry section on the Prison Talk website. This is the link if anyone would like to read more poetry from prison.

God's Hotel

I checked you in again last night, My child
Cuz it hurt me so bad to see you out there running wild.

All tired and "sucked up" you appeared to me,
But put a mirror in front of you, and you can't even see.

That you number among the walking dead,
Sores all over your body, confusion in your head.

Jail is not the place you want to be,
But it's my "Hotel" where I can work on thee.

You see you weren't just arrested, you were rescued from, yourself
I had to bring you back here, and put your drug use on the shelf.

Give you some rest, some food,and some talk,
Encourage you and love you, before I let you walk.

Don't be like a mule that's led around by the bit,
just listen to my warnings, and I can help you quit.

This could be the last time you have to come to this place,
just listen to me the creator of all, with tears upon my face!!

My girlfriend was in Spokane Jail and I think "Ray of sunshine" has part of it but not all.
also some of it might be the poem"I am meth"- I'm not sure
But I still would like to get the whole poem Of "God's Hotel" if you found it .or if anyone has it all.


Here is

I am Meth


I destroy homes, I tear families apart,I take your children, and that's just the start.

I'm more costly than diamonds, more precious than gold,The sorrow I bring is a sight to behold.

If you need me, remember I'm easily found,I live all around you - in schools and in town

I live with the rich, I live with the poor,I live down the street, and maybe next door.

I'm made in a lab, but not like you think,I can be made under the kitchen sink.

In your child's closet, and even in the woods,If this scares you to death, well it certainly should.

I have many names, but there's one you know best,I'm sure you've heard of me, my name is crystal meth.

My power is awesome, try me you'll see,But if you do, you may never break free.

Just try me once and I might let you go,But try me twice, and I'll own your soul.

When I possess you, you'll steal and you'll lie,You do what you have to — just to get high.

The crimes you'll commit for my narcotic charmsWill be worth the pleasure you'll feel in your arms.

You'll lie to your mother, you'll steal from your dad,When you see their tears, you should feel sad.

But you'll forget your morals and how you were raised,I'll be your conscience, I'll teach you my ways.

I take kids from parents, and parents from kids,I turn people from God, and separate friends.

I'll take everything from you, your looks and your pride,I'll be with you always — right by your side.

You'll give up everything - your family, your home,Your friends, your money, then you'll be alone.

I'll take and take, till you have nothing more to give,When I'm finished with you, you'll be lucky to live.

If you try me be warned - this is no game,If given the chance, I'll drive you insane.

I'll ravish your body, I'll control your mind,I'll own you completely, your soul will be mine.

The nightmares I'll give you while lying in bed,The voices you'll hear, from inside your head.

The sweats, the shakes, the visions you'll see,I want you to know, these are all gifts from me.

But then it's too late, and you'll know in your heart,That you are mine, and we shall not part.

You'll regret that you tried me, they always do,But you came to me, not I to you.

You knew this would happen, many times you were told,But you challenged my power, and chose to be bold.

You could have said no, and just walked away,If you could live that day over, now what would you say?

I'll be your master, you will be my slave,I'll even go with you, when you go to your grave.

Now that you have met me, what will you do? Will you try me or not? It's all up to you.

I can bring you more misery than words can tell,Come take my hand, let me lead you to hell.

God's Hotel

I checked you in again last night, My dear child
Cause it hurt me so bad to see you out there running wild.

All tired and worn out's - how you looked unto me,
I put a mirror in front of you, but you couldn't even see.

That you've been dwelling alone - among the lost walking dead,
Sores all over your body, confusion in your head.

I know Jail's not the place that you wanted to be,
But it's my "Hotel" - a place - where I can work upon thee.

You see, you weren't arrested, you were rescued, from yourself-
I had to bring you back here - put your life on the shelf.

Give you some rest, some new friends, and some time,
Encourage you, and love you, Let you know you are Mine.

So Don't be a mule - led around by the bit,
Give heed to my warnings, and I'll help you to quit.

This could be the last time you'll have to come to this place,
Please just listen -I'm your Father, see the tears on My Face !!

I Will wash from your soul - all the shame of the streets
Help you conquer your addiction's -- All your pains I'll defeat.

Just give me your hand -We will conquer the cold
I'll free you from the Demon's - who've been stalking your soul.

So rest in this Hotel -- I've prepared for your stay
But Know, You'll come often - Till I've taught you My Ways.

So learn now my lessons - That your soul will be free
From the shackles that Satan tried to place upon thee.

You see, you were in prison - Long before, you came to this place-
You just couldn't see - how much life you did waste.

Come closer - I will help you - set you free from your sins-
In My Hotel - Of true beginnings -- your new life will begin !!!
