The Good Die Young
If only the good die young
Will prayers help the old sinners?
And get into heaven when the their final hymn is sung
Will they eventually become the winners?
For the good people; are their deeds rewarded early?
And get to see heaven's light?
Lessons in life they must have learned surely
I can't understand this phenomenon
But I guess it makes sense
That the good can go into the great beyond
And maybe the sinners are dense?
Maybe the lessons are not complete
And they need some extra time
To complete their mission in life
And atone for every crime
Maybe atonement for every sin or thought
For every action whether done or crossed their mind
And for each repercussion brought
That they must understand and find
If only the good die young
Then maybe we should learn
Before our last hymn is sung
Learn what to finish in life until death we earn
