Story behind the song
This song ponders what can take place after death. It was a stand-alone poem written by my brother that I had for about 6 years before I added a verse the the start and the finish and put music to it.
Lyrics
Who Will Be Waiting? When I was a little child I felt the guilt without the trial. As I grew I learned to sin and confusion walked right in. I never knew inside my heart how near the end was to the start. I dreamed a dream how it could be but I had to keep my feet Down on the ground. Who will be waiting for me When the light of day I can no longer see? When I journey to the other side Will it be a wild ride? Down to that fearful place of brimstone and fire Face the face of the Prince of Liars Will I writhe and burn in agony My pain his evil ecstasy Or will I float so lazily to the kingdom that so many seek? To be judged by the Holy Three While I wait upon my knees For a blessing and a pair of wings. Halo and a voice to sing. Or could I remain where I lie Maggots and worms instead of eyes? No light or sound or breath of air All alone in the darkness seems so unfair for After all I surely must Whither and rot and turn to dust. My destiny no one can see Until the day they bury me Down in the ground. Now I've grown into a man I try to do the best I can. I know that each pasing day adds a little more to the price I'll pay. Banish this uncertainty I've done unto others and I've walked free. I never wanted it to be Worse for any other than it was for me Down in the ground.
