Heaven Tonight

When you look up into the clouds Tell me what you see Beyond the whispery vapour Lies our common destiny Another existence, a parochial step For those that hear the call To tread the celestial staircase Into God’s marble hall Free of suffering, trial and pain Exist beside their Creator All things too have come to pass Sooner now than later There are many that have departed And many more left behind Endeavouring to survive To salvage what they can find So when the sun has disappeared The black replaces light Gaze into eternal vastness And look to Heaven tonight
