r.a. the rugged man - the after life lyrics
[chorus:]
what does it look like in heaven
is it as peaceful as they say
does the sun shine bright forever?
have your fears and your pain gone away?
rest in peace, little sis
sarah smith
[verse 1: r.a]
the choir sings the violin strings and corum gordon heights
they say they saw the lord in lights and heard the church organ pipes
may your soul rest i know your ghost spoke i felt your cold breath
is life a gift or is living just dying a slow death
does the pain die, do the tears dry
do we get wings do we all fly?
will i see you again in the afterlife
when we pass the light is it paradise?
are the streets gold, are the gates pearly
cause then took an angel from the earth too early
as i hold my baby to my chest closely if i died then my son won’t get to know me
will i see the mornin’ or resist the endin’
will i live to dance at my daughters’ weddin’
will they welcome me into the doors of heaven
give my heart amendin’ and my soul a cleansin’
seen half my family in a coffin’
is vincent healthy, is max talkin, is donna happy
is dn walkin’ cause it’s been tough ever since we lost him
the rough climb, deaf, dumb, blind
when we unwind, does the sun shine?
let me hear your voice just one time
are you up there, give me some sign?
just being born they say were truly blessed
but is heaven peaceful i could use the rest
i would give my last breath to miss you less
how i’m holdin’ up i’m livin’ in distress
how i’m makin’ out i’m tongue kissin’ death
when the smoke settles, smell the rose petals
and so much has gone wrong, does the cold flesh ever turn warm?
can you take us back to the innocence when we where infants being first born
[chorus:]
what does it look like in heaven
is it as peaceful as they say
does the sun shine bright forever?
have your fears and your pain gone away?

[verse 2: r.a]
listenin’ to whispers vision magic scene dream of my sisters
seen her in the clouds dancin’ in ballerina slippers
no hateful emotion, i see the light glowin’ over the great ocean
i smell my aunt sue’s cooking and my dad waving as the gates open
in my arms i hold the queen
is this a broken dream that scene is so serene
i’m finally dancin’ with my grandma josephine
i played chess with my dad’s grandfather
my great grandpa johnny seen my baby nephew vincent
he kept askin’ about his mommy
flashback the day my sister got the doctor’s +n+lysis
vincent had a sickness werdnig+hoffman syndrome paralysis
every other day he’d stop breathin’ and then comin’ back and keep breathin’ on
and one night his heart stopped and we couldn’t save him and he was gone
it never goes away and everyday my sister’ suffering
i beg you that one day my sister gets to hold her son again
life is a fraud tell me where is the final reward
what kind of lord lets a child die from a disease in his spinal chord
see my aunt joyce, mary+jane, barb, my uncle ritchie who cmin with me
saw eddie and reggie the true g’s saw sean and albert the two p’s
let’s get a taste of this better place with no skin color there was never race
where the words are honest, the truth was spoken, no politicians or fake speech
where the palestinians and israelis can live together
and they make peace and there wasn’t room since from the womb
send love to malachai the son of doom
is peace, stability part of mans ability
can we eat together and stand in tranquility?
every tribe together from every nation
no separation, hear the trumpet playin’
[chorus:]
what does it look like in heaven
is it as peaceful as they say
does the sun shine bright forever?
have your fears and your pain gone away?
everything
fantasy
here on earth into next
