When you die you’re dead but you’re still alive,
Gale Acuff
more alive than ever, in Heaven or
Hell but Heaven’s better or that’s what they
swear to at church and Sunday School and I’m
only ten years old but that’s old enough
to go along with all the nonsense and
when I’m dead I’ll know what the real truth is
and live forever eternally, if
that’s part of it, I mean that I won’t know
what’s really what until it’s too late, life
is funny like that, I shouldn’t be
surprised that death is, too, that is if it
is but if it isn’t I’ll know better
though I don’t know what I’ll do with the truth
but to be part of it. Aren’t I always?
