Spirit In the Sky

For sooner or later we all will die in laying our body to rest Hearts broken as they stand there and cry on your behest But why would there be tears but for a heart that's broken Or perhaps fears that they didn't listen to the Word spoken They didn't go to church and didn't really have any belief Finding one's self in such a lurch would cause such grief No one nicer would you meet, a good person all around But there is reason to repeat that God just wasn't found Now that day is here, being lowered down in the ground Who knew the time was near the doctor said all was sound And yet here we all are surrounded by friends and family Returning to our car we just thank God it wasn't you or me That Sunday at Mass, there, they were laid upon my mind Through that stained glass there was such a beauty to find And I couldn't help but recall all of those times in the past One day we will all fall in leaving behind only His Light cast
