I Hope

I’ve always wondered
That when I die
Where will I go?

I’ve always hoped something 
Different each time…

I’ve always asked
The stars if I 
Could stay longer…

Then I started to ask more…
Then I started to wish more…
Then I started to dream more…
Since then I’ve always done it…

I’ve always wished 
That there is no
Hell when I am gone…

I’ve always dreamed
That there is a 
Heaven when I am gone…

I’ve always begged
For my family
To stay alive when I am gone…

I hope it’s not hot in hell…
I hope it’s not cold in heaven…
I hope I don’t die…
I hope even in death that I can still love…
I hope even in death that I can still live…
I hope even in death that I can still see the stars light up the sky…
I hope because it’s all I can do…
