Still Down Here

.

St. Peter says You picked a real good day

Your lungs fill back up with air and your worries float away

Jesus smiles, He is a handsome man

He’s taller than you thought, eyes so warm, reaching out his hand

.

In the Holy Kingdom angels sing a hymn

For all your good behavior they handed you your crown and wings

You don’t feel the sorrow, there’s no pain no fear

Don’t forget about me, don’t forget about me

I’m still down here

.

Everyone knew, you were on your way

Earlier than expected, said the papers in both places that day

You saw your family, some for the very first time

There were smiling faces, strawberry cake and a welcome home sign

.

In the Holy Kingdom angels sing a hymn

For all your good behavior they handed you your crown and wings

You don’t feel the sorrow, there’s no pain or fear

Don’t forget about me, don’t forget about me

I’m still down

Here in the shadow-land, here where there’s doubt

Here where we must learn to live, with what we live without

.

Clouds of silver and streets of gold

Where no shadow is cast, there's nobody growing old

You find some old friends and take a walk around

But believe them when they say

I tell you one thing, just don’t look down

.

In the Holy Kingdom angels sing a hymn

Stay there above the clouds now, don’t ever shed one tear

Don’t forget about me, don’t forget about me

I’m still down here
