Nevermind the way that we end our days
there aint no heaven or hell when we die
get up off your knees son and face a brand new day

I remember when my old man would sing them old songs
as i lay there each night in my bed.
all the voices of the prophets swim through my mind
As i fade off to sleep this is what they said

and as her final breaths drew near in the fading candle light, she held me close and whispered in my ear

And I too was there, i felt the weight of my life
I felt the edge, of the bright white light
one more step, but I woke up to find, i realized
