For What it's Worth

People live, and People die 
They live their lives, wondering why 
When they die, where will they go
Way up high, or down below 
They all approach, heaven's gate
Where angels wait, to demonstrate 
The ins and outs, of heaven's door 
To kneel upon, the sacred floor 

To pray to God, to let they stay
And hope he doesn't, turn them away 
To the other place, to the other side 
Where demons live, and souls have cried 
So, live your life, be understood 
Don't live it bad, live it good 
For you and the people, for what it's worth 
For peace today, on planet earth

I'm wit ya Charles. Though I don't believe in a literal hell of torment and fire I still prefer eternity over oblivion.
