Save My Soul

I’m naked as a jaybird

I don’t need to be clothed, it’s understood

There’s no reason to dress for the ending

It doesn’t matter if I look good

Time has passed, this life is over.

The normal aging has taken its toll

Now it’s easier to bare my body

Then, it will be to bare my soul

Who will meet me when I arrive

Will someone come to take my hand

Am I important enough for God himself

To walk me into the promised land

At the end, we learn the answer why

We’ve been given so much strife

We find dying is not the mystery

The mystery is the life

If no one comes to greet me

If no one offers me a hand

I’ll have to return to the living

Another enigma that God has planned

I will not question the meaning

But I will set a goal

To follow the Ten Commandments

To try to save my soul
