Moth & Rust

If my house burns down
And if moth and rust destroy
If that thief breaks in and steals
And if I lose all that I hold dear
Will I cry
Or will I not feel a thing?
Because my house burned down
And that moth and rust destroyed
And that thief broke in and stole
And when I die, I will die alone
But I won’t cry
No, I won’t feel a thing

When I die, will I go quietly?
Will I close my eyes and fall asleep?
Or will I rage, rage against the dying?
When I die, will I go quietly?
Will those arms around my neck put me to sleep?
Or will I rage, rage against the dying?
When I die, will I go quietly?
When I see those tall white ships coming for me?
Or will I rage, rage against the dying?

I found that map that I marked up
To see everything
But I never left the shore
So when I die and they bury me
Will I fill the same ground
I took up when I was born?
No, I am free
To be where I want to be
And I just want to be here
I twirl my thumbs and I pace the floor
Cause I can’t wait like
I used to wait for you
So in ten minutes if they’re not through the door
Then I’m moving on
Like I moved on from you
And now I am free
With someone who loves me
Like you never could be
And that’s fine with me
Now I am free
To be who I want to be
And I just want to be me
Finally
I found that map that I marked up
To see everything
But I never left the shore
So when I die and they bury me
Will I fill the same ground
I took up when I was born?
Or will I be
In a place prepared for me
Like they said I would be

Holy

Holy holy is the Lamb was slain
Put in the grave
Was raised again
Holy holy, I will sing that day
When You call my name
And I see your face
My soul longs
My soul longs
But it can wait
Hallelujah to the Lord of grace
You see all my days
And love me the same
Hallelujah, I will change my ways
But there are days
You’d swear nothing’s changed

The sun won’t rise tomorrow
The earth will turn and then
Its light will creep over the rim
Just like it’s been
Just lite it’s done
A thousand days before
So don’t you be afraid
At least not any more afraid
Than living on demands
Cause it demands
Yes life demands
The sum of all our fears
If the world should end tomorrow
Just take peace in knowing that
We did the best we could
Cause all our coulds
And woulds and shoulds
Go with us when we die
So I won’t be afraid
At least not anymore afraid
Than the unknown demands
Because who knows
(I mean REALLY knows)
What happens when we die?
And if I should die tomorrow
Just take peace in knowing that
I did the best I could

Strangers 1

No one is afraid to die
They’re afraid that Heaven won’t be like
They had planned
No one is afraid of death
They’re afraid that the people they expect
To be there won’t be there
Everyone’s afraid of life
Afraid of everlasting life
Next to strangers
Everlasting life
Everlasting, eternally alive
Next to strangers

Mansions

They say that when we die there’s a place prepared for me
A mansion on a hillside on a golden street
But will it take the place of all I’ve lost
Or will I not even be able to remember it?
They say that when we die our bodies decompose
My flesh becomes the food for every flower that grows
But if a flower I feed should break the ground
Will there be a part of me there that the world would recognize?
They say that when we die there’s no husbands or wives
We’ll all be as one there in the after life
But if your new eyes should catch a glimpse of mine
Will there be a part of you inside that I could recognize?

The earth turns round, it’s a new day
As the sun breaks through the trees
The light creeps in through my window
And though my eyes close, still I can see
The blood flow through my face
The blood flow through my face
As it carries all the oxygen
To every starving place
The earth turns round, it’s a new day
As I’m torn out of a dream
All the lifelong friends I’ve had there
Turn to smoke or burst in steam
No, I’m not waking up
I’m not waking up
I’m not waking up
No, not quietly
Oh Lord my God, if I
Should wake to find I’ve died
Will I feel torn out of
This world like it’s a dream
My whole life turn to steam
And vaporize into heaven’s air?

I am not afraid to die
I'm afraid that Heaven won’t be like
I had planned
I am not afraid of death
I'm afraid that the people I expect
To be there might not be there
I’m afraid of life
Afraid of everlasting life
Next to strangers
Everlasting life
Everlasting, eternally alive
Next to strangers
Who are all these strangers?
So terrified of strangers
