From The Heart

The After Life

I'm scared to death of how my life will end
I'm scared of how my family would be
I'm afraid that in the after life, my people won't be there
I'm destined to go on this journey but not alone.

I love my Savior but I don't want to die
I shouldn't be afraid but I am
I'm almost terrified of what he'll ask,
Will I be able to answer his questions?

My dreams say everything will be just fine
My head says I'll be aight, I know I will.
The way my life goes, I do but I don't wanna go.
Let me be free from all this hurting and pain.

I've been thinkin' things over lately
I'm way too young to leave this world of mine
Lord knows, I don't wanna leave it behind
So many people will miss me so much.

Guess that's what happens in the after life.
Now I see that I'll walk with God anywhere
And everywhere cuz he'll lead me to the place
I'll love to be.
