When I get to heaven, is God gonna cry?

Or will he smile and nod while watching the time?

Yeah, when I get inducted will my welcome note say

“You had a good run, son, I liked that one song, hey”

Did he sit up all night wondering how to say

That he's kind of a big fan from the Chamomile days?

“My favourite part was when you wished you would die

And up here man, oh, there wasn't a dry eye”

Silly old thing, that green and blue marble

Floating in darkness, how cool are the stars though?

Didn't give it much thought, but maybe it's unfair

That there's heaps of cancer, death, and despair

I ask politely, "But wasn't that the devil?"

He pauses for a second and says he's gonna level

“It was all middle management, pressure from above

Some universal interests about some real estate stuff

It's over my head, don't take it to heart

Just view this as kind of like a nice, fresh start

Where you sit in eternity, with no good or evil

In an endless cosmos in the eye of a needle”

I said, "Hey, God," he said “Who, me?

Oh, you must have me confused, I'm just a corporate slogan, see

If you need a reason, good or bad, you can rely on me for your facts”

I said, "So wait, then what's the point?"

He said, “You're looking for God, I'm sorry, but this ain't the joint

You just came from Earth, you're telling me

You didn't feel a thing? You had the holy keys

Seriously now, you fell in love

And that's God right there, what else could you want son?”

You're telling me that I saw God?

No heaven or hell, well that kinda sucks a lot

Was kinda hoping for a trial by fire

Or some beautiful paradise

Styled inspired by everything I liked and things that felt right

He said, “That's not quite how it works, you know the budgets are tight”

So what now?

He said, “Well I'll leave you to it

You got some thinking and you got a lot of time to do it

Bet you kinda wish now you know the drill

You saw heaven every second that the world stood still”

I said, "It would have been nice to know

That that was all I had and there was nowhere to go

I would have used all of my time

To be a little more loving in my life

I would have called my enemies up

Said sorry that I messed up

I would have held it all so tight

I wouldn't have done things out of spite"

Isn't it weird you believe or you don't?

But either way you should probably make the most of it

‘Cause the core of it is right here, right now

And I hope you notice it

I don't have a prayer for you, I walk on two-way streets

Everybody talks to you, but no one's heard you speak

You're coming in dreams, you're coming in visions

You're coming in waves of your own volition

Look, I don't need God to make up the decision

To be a little more loving in my life

I don't have a prayer for you, I walk on two-way streets

Everybody talks to you, but no one's heard you speak

You're coming in dreams, you're coming in visions

You're coming in waves of your own volition

I don't need God to make up the decision

To be a little more loving in my life
