Does a Person Really Know

Does a person really know 
When it’s their time is to go 
Always thoughts in their heads 
About being dead

Consumed by the thought 
That the mind has fought 
But the time gets near
And they start to live in fear

Did we get to do the things we wanted 
Did we get to travel
Did we get to live in marvel
Did our soul get to unravel

Feels like you are going to jail 
Is this really the time
You soul gets frail
Feels like you
have committed a crime

Ah, but there is bliss to be had 
After your time is over
There is no time for feeling sad 
There is no time for feeling bad

When you arrive in heaven
Your lucky number is always seven 
There will be no one ill
There will be no pill
There will be
Only laughter and happiness
What a thrill, thrill,thrill
