  1. Heaven

From the recording Agnostic Hymns / Secular Psalms

A song pondering the possibility of life after death.

Lyrics

Heaven

Nobody remembers before they were born
Noone knows what happens after you’re gone
If there is a heaven, it must be quite full
All those old and lost souls
All the great and the good

Bye!
When we die
Will we find out why?
There’s life
There’s life

Goodnight
When we die
Will we see the light
And find out why?

When we pass
Does a God of love
Up in heaven above
Judge us for our worth on earth
Or
Do we just return to dirt /dust
‘Cos beyond this world
There is nothing more for us

Noone has ever returned from the dead
Noone really knows what happens in the end
Nobody I know received or sent
A postcard from the far side of death

Is death
The real end?
Or just a bridge to
Whatever is next

Is death a portal
For us mere mortals
Or is it
The end?

When we pass
Does a God of love
Up in heaven above
Judge us for our worth on earth?
Or
Do we just return to dirt?
‘Cos beyond this world
There is nothing more for us?

Ne’er anthropology nor history
Has ever seen a culture that doesn’t believe isn’t theistic
Could the need to believe be saved be
something innate?
Deep down in our DNA?

When we pass
Does a God of love
Up in heaven above
Judge us for our worth on earth?

Or
Do we just return to dirt / dust?
‘Cos beyond this world
There is nothing more for us?

They say there’s more to heaven and earth
Than meets the eye
Believe me, I‘d like nothing more than spend the afterlife in paradise

I’d like to see my friends
Talk to Mum and Dad again
But I don’t know if this is just pretend and nothing really matters in the end
