Lyrics

Someday I'll go to sleep and not wake up
Someway I know once there that door is shut
Curious about what I'll see
Curious about what I'll be
Serious about where I'll be
Serious about how I'll be

Have I done enough?
Have I won enough?
Did I care enough?
Did I dare enough?

Is there a choice of up or down
A place of bliss
A place of frowns
Will I go to a paradise
Where all is love
With joy precise
Will I go to a hell below
Where life is damned
And lava flows

Did I learn enough?
Did I yearn enough?
Have I tried enough?
Have I cried enough?

Someday I'll go to sleep and not wake up
Somehow I will be glad and be awestruck
Curious if I die alone
Curious of what I'll be shown
Mysterious new realms unseen
Mysterious how calm I seem

Is there a voice that says you're safe
You've come back home
You're not alone
Will it be a place I create
A place I've grown
A land I've roamed
Or will it have a magistrate
A royal throne
A judgement known

Did I live enough?
Did I give enough?
Have I learned enough?
Have I earned enough?

Someday I'll go to sleep and not wake up
Somewhere where those I love will all meet up
Curious about who I'll see
Curious on who they'll be
Glorious is eternity
Glorious now my soul is free

Glorious is eternity
Glorious now my soul is free
