Not Where I'm Goin'

When they release the chains that bind my limbs And free me from my cell I won't be goin' to heaven And I won't be goin' to hell I'll be free to sail the universe To find another shore I'll leave my flesh and bones right here Won't need them anymore Not where I'm goin' I'll say thanks to all the people That I learned from on my way Give a kiss to ones I love And say it's time to go away Don't miss me for too long Don't let it spoil too much fun 'Cause in just a few short revolutions round the sun You'll be with me And we'll all be young and sweet and laughing Playing in the yard Or maybe we'll be water droplets In a stream on Mars Or possibly a part of something new That can't be seen For now I'm simply thankful for the blessing to have been Anything at all When they release the chains that bind my limbs And free me from my cell I won't be goin' to heaven And I won't be goin' to hell I'll be free to sail the universe To find another shore I'll leave my flesh and bones right here Won't need them anymore Not where I'm goin'
