You say that you’re trading your pain and your sorrows
For a portion of promise beyond your tomorrows
But take what you can with the time that you have to borrow
Don’t weep for the weary, don’t pray for the poor
Your guardian angels won’t hear you no more
And everything will be as it was before
There won’t be no more four lane highways,
No more bright city lights
There won’t be no more endless war
And no more meaningless fights.
There will just be the stars shining bright
Without any watchers to delight.
If this world is so terrible and Heaven’s so great
Then why do you linger, no why do you wait?
Go on, fly away home to your white pearly gates.
