I saw you in that lonely place
A look of peace upon your face
It wasn't you that much I know
Your soul had gone some time ago.
If what you believe is true,
Your whole being will be as new.
No more sorrow no more pain
As you look once again,
On those on the same road
Each carrying thier own load
Of sins collected on the rocky path
Hoping not to incur too much wrath.
Looking soon to be in God's presence
Hoping you've done enough penance
To keep you out of the mire
And well away from satans fire
Praying those who've gone before
Will have knocked on Peters door
And said, "Don't be to hard on this one
He's really a good lad is our John".
