Dyin' To Live

Dyin's part of livin' 
Livin's been pretty good 
But if I die tomorrow 
I'd die livin' if I could
 
Wonderin' what's above me 
Wonderin' what's below 
Wonderin' bout my destiny 
When it's time to go
 
Jesus walked on the water 
Moses parted the sea
Wonderin' what the lord has in store 
When I see that burnin' tree
 
But if I see heaven tomorrow 
I bid you all farewell 
And I'll pray to God you did some good 
To keep you out of hell

Gershon Wolf Date: 6/19/2023 7:29:00 PM Like the jauntiness, the nonchalance -- and the dead seriousness of this write, Charlie. By the way, try singing 'Stairway to Heaven 24/7. Maybe it'll help. lol. Login to Reply
