The Other Side of Heaven

We were born purely innocent All unaware of where we're dropped Some had it harder than others But soon the innocence is stopped Then life becomes about choices And the bad ones I made a lot "Over there", I'm quite sure I'll be Just begging for any old spot There are those who love cold crisp air And John Denver's "Rock Mountain Way" But it's the other side of heaven Where my old cold butt wants to stay!

Well, life would be very dull if we never made bad choices from time to time - and also I prefer warmth to snow! (not sure what that says about your awesome poem) - have a fun day!
