Behind the Stars

Behind the Stars 


As I lay beneath the stars, 
I wonder we're are we from, 
we're just a tiny speck of dust , 
Compared to what's up there

The heavens are so vast, 
It's never got an end
But there's some thing beautiful 
In the darkness of outer space,

The planets that all shine
There stars that twinkle in the dark 
Even the moon comes alive, 
It lights the way at night

There's a wonderful place behind the stars 
It's called heaven 
It's were we go when it's time 
To meet all our loved ones 

It's hidden up there in space, 
You never know it's there 
Until the golden gates are open , 
And your invited in

And when you enter through that door
The peace there's nothing like it
It's an over whelming feeling 
Of life as you have never known it

The sky so blue , and the sun shines bright
the air is so fresh, there's fields of green 
And lakes of blue , 
and flowers of all colours, 

We're butterfly's and bumble bees 
are in and out each flower
The sky's so full of bird, 
In all sorts  of colour, 

And all the souls in heaven, 
Are angels with there wings 
The music it's so soft, as they all sing
I am happy here looking up at the stars, 
But one day that door will open , 
And all my loved ones that have passed 
And all my little pets , Will be waiting there 
To meet me ,    when I'm ready,
