Heaven
Heaven is there any such place?
There has to be something
in all that empty space
The space above the clouds
where it's always bright
and all your troubles are out of sight
Heaven is exempt from
all the dark clouds
God never lets them in,
they're not allowed.
Remember the peace you
longed for here on earth?
In heaven is where it
finally gives birth.
It's really beautiful
way up there,
everyone lives without a care
No more depression,
no more sorrows
no more worries about
your tomorrows.
Now comes the hard part,
What do we do?
When will our time on
earth be through?
What if heaven sounds so great,
we absolutely just can't wait?
Can we shorten our time
and help God along?
Or would that be doing
something wrong?
If there's a heaven
then there must be a hell
and God might not
take it too well
If we shortened our own time
and tried to help him out,
giving him one less person
to worry about.
Would he damn us to hell
because we couldn't wait?
Or would he forgive us
and open up the gates?
Would he understand
what it's like here on earth
waiting for our peace
to finally give birth?
Do we take a chance
and try to find out?
Or do we sit patiently
and wait it out?
Decisions, decisions
it's so hard to decide
By which choice will you abide?
it too
