THE MESSAGE CAME FROM THE VERY TOP
FROM A VERY HIGH OFFICIAL,
MY TIME HAD COME TO LEAVE THIS PLACE
MY TRIP WAS TO BE SPECIAL.
MY EYES DID CLOSE AS I BECAME
SO EXTREMELY TIRED,
I FELT THAT I WAS PACKED IN ICE
BUT MY BODY WAS ON FIRE.
I TRAVELLED DOWN A TUNNEL BLACK
WITH A BRIGHT LIGHT AT THE END,
A BEARDED MAN WITH GENTLE EYES
SAID "WELCOME HOME MY FRIEND".
I SAW THE VALLEYS GREEN WITH GRASS
I SAW THE WATER BLUE,
I HEARD MUSIC SUNG BY ANGELS
AND WORDS OF LOVE SO TRUE.
MY OLD AND SICKLY BODY
BECAME YOUTHFUL ONCE AGAIN,
I COULD SOAR JUST LIKE AN EAGLE
IN THIS PLACE THAT HAS NO END.
SO WHEN YOU GET THE MESSAGE
TO LEAVE THE PLACE YOU'RE IN,
CONSIDER IT A BLESSING
TO BE RID OF YOUR SINS.
YOU WILL BE A PART OF THE HEAVENS'
A PART OF THE SKY SO BLUE,
AND WHEN LOVED ONES WISH UPON A STAR
YOU WILL KNOW THEY ARE MISSING YOU
