On heaven

Do you wonder? What exists beyond the dark?
The ending of the great journey on which we all embark?
Do you fear death, or is it just one step in your journey?
As much as I try to rise above I find the worries just concerns me

See I want to believe in Heaven, and I do so with my heart
I try to believe in God and to show it in my art
But when it comes to imagining God's perfect kingdom
I don't think such a skill exists anywhere in creation

I can picture things being better than they currently are on Earth
We fight for such a world and in such a fight we find our worth
It is struggle and it is challenge that help forms our fragile souls
Would a perfect world not include such a battle with our goals?

Would you get to live eternal, at just the age you died?
Would you experience the relief you only feel when you have cried?
Most of all I wonder, if I get to live way up above
What it is to feel unfiltered, that feeling of God's love

I have many dreams and questions about the world beyond the dead
Yet I will settle for the echoes of Heaven I witness in this world instead
