A Better Place - Rocksteady TNT
Some folk will say that
From your moment of birth
Time flies so quickly
Before you leave this earth
And though your skin and bones
May crumble back to dirt
Your soul will rise up
And live on high
Other people say
That they just don't trust
And that all that happens
Is we turn into dust
So why bother praying
To the heavens above
'Cause you won't go
Nowhere when you die
When you
Close your eyes
And take your brave long journey
Into the light
I'll try to imagine
If I can
That this is all part of
His Master Plan
You say
To have no fear
'Cause you know
Where you'll go
After here
And that
I shouldn't cry
'Cause you're going to
A better place
Up in the sky
As for me,
I just don't know
So please promise me
When it's your time to go
You'll find a way to visit me
From time to time
You'll find a way
Of showing me a sign
Come back to me
As a blue butterfly
And flutter in the window
Right before my eyes
And when you do
I won't even be surprised
And I'll finally believe
In the divine
All we see and seem
Is it just a dream?
All we think and feel
Is it really real?
All we've ever been
Our family all our friends
Is all of this the end?
Will we see you again?
Fly down to me
As a bird from the trees
And land on my hand
So that I can see
That I have an angel
Watching over me
Please help me
To finally believe
Come back to me
As a kitten in a shoe
It will be a little symbol
Between me and you
Then I'll know
There is something else
Beyond the blue
Then I'll know for sure
That it is true
When you
Close your eyes
And take your brave long journey
Into the light
I'll try to imagine
If I can
That this is all part of
His Master Plan
You say
To have no fear
'Cause you know
Where you'll go
After here
And that
I shouldn't cry
'Cause you're going to
A better place
Up in the sky
I will try
Not to cry
And will do my best
To quell all my pain
And tell myself
As we say goodbye
That it will be a short while
Before I see you again
