Death In the Sky

Death in the sky


Crash and burn like falling fireflies;
From the skies come a sign to die, a lightning strike.
It scares the children up here in the plane, oh no!
But we know it can’t hurt us.  Or can it?  I don’t know.


It crashes against us and lights up our night;
It causes panic, it causes fright.
It causes the plane to shake, just turbulence they say;
But we don’t believe their stay calm warning, this is our judgment day.


The end of our world, we are falling through the sky;
I don’t want to die please, I want to learn to fly.
I want to live forever, it can’t be my time already;
I haven’t learned how to live life yet, I’m still not ready.


Ascend into Heaven, screaming in the wind;
It is your time to go stand with your King.
