God in Heaven - “Before I die”
By: Matthew Canning
Before I die, before I go
A journey I must take to free my soul
I was never very religious
held tight to my views, I was a bigot
your bible may not be real, but who says I cannot heal
There is a god in heaven, a universe so vast
It's engraved within our past
secrets lost to ancient tombs
A god within us all, and a heaven found in any room
harmony can show you the path
hiding behind egos, we all forget we wear a mask
trapped behind the material, where love now seems so surreal
I've got this one life, to prove my valor
for I am my own judge, and I will not cower
slowly my eyes creep open, no longer closed
our lives entwined I've grown more bold
No regrets, no burdens of guilt
a rose that is stressed will only wilt
No anger, no hate, or even jealousy
losing your center, lost your harmony
as I accept what awaits me at the end of my journey
there is a god in heaven, where the stars roam free
