Walking down the street
Head bowed down
Feet leading the way
Heart weighing heavy inside
Feeling no joy
Feeling all the pain
Turning the corner
Stopping dead at gun point
Life flashes by,
Breath quickens,
Threats being made,
Threats not accepted,
A flash of light,
A stab of pain,
A stab of relief…

Walking down the street
Head held high
Heart weighing nothing inside
Feeling the joy
Leaving the pain
Turning towards the light
Stopping dead at golden gates
Life flashes by
Breath slows down
Invitations being made
Invitations accepted
A flash of light
A stab of joy
As heaven opens up
And life closes down
