It's just sad when a relative or friend dies and you're not sure if they're going to heaven. I was just amazed by that, and it inspired me to write this.
Lyrics
Come away
Come away death
And in sad cypress
Let me be laid
Where did Bobby go?
They asked themselves that day
We really miss him so
In the dirt grave he lay
Is he gonna stay
His body his soul?
Do we really care
If he stays in that hole?
We gotta know where he is
Heaven or hell
We hafta know where he is
Burning or well
Because if he did not
Know the Son
His life is over
His life is done
Not a flower
Not a flower sweet
On my black coffin
Let there be strown
Not a friend
Not a friend greet
On my poor corpse
Where my bones shall be thrown
Where did Bobby go?
They asked themselves that day
We really miss him so
In the dirt grave he lay
Did he accept the love
That Jesus gave?
Did he know Him?
Was he saved?
Because if he did not
Know the Son
His life his over
His life is done
Did he accept the love
That Jesus gave?
Did he know Him?
Was he saved?
