This Crazy Life

The only certain thing is that you're going to die,
what will that be like? Close your eyes, hold your breath,
it's not quite dark but it will be upon your death,
it will be forever, along with your father and mother.

Your spirit/soul left your body, never to return,
we're floating now, some things we may finally learn;
you learned that most of us were liars - deserved to burn,
twisted and wriggled till the end when it was your turn.

Many may say that they couldn't really care less,
now the strange thing is that you're going to be made to care,
you couldn't distance yourself, not a question of pain,
rather, a reminder to be gracious if you ever came again.

You and I were nothing, not even grains of sand,
had the nerve to think that you may reach the promised land.
