Excitement had built inside
The day I flew so high
But now I’m left asking: why?

I flew to the heavens all I saw was clear blue sky
Mommy why did you lie
Why won’t you tell me where we go when we die?
I promise I’ll be strong, I won’t cry

Do you even know?
In death where do we go?
Do we fade to memory, just an echo?
Tell me we don’t just rot in the ground below
Do I come back, another chance to grow?
Oh where is the proof, where are the signs to follow
Oh please tell me, show me where to go

I flew to the heavens all I saw was clear blue sky
Mommy why did you lie
Why won’t you tell me where we go when we die?
I promise I’ll be strong, I won’t cry

I don’t want to waste my only chance
So tell me if this is it, is this all I get
Will I live on after my mistakes, and regret?
Have I lived before, did I somehow forget?

So many questions, the clock is ticking
Will I live a life wasted, wondering
Will my death result in knowing
Or will it be a definitive ending

Is the truth simpler then the question
Are we fools blinded by anticipation?
Is the pool of life’s secrets shallow?
Is it just too hard to swallow?

I flew to the heavens all I saw was clear blue sky
Mommy why did you lie
Why won’t you tell me where we go when we die?
I promise I’ll be strong, I won’t cry

Oh please someone enlighten me
Show me the light, guide me
Will I live for an eternity?
Or is this life everything
Can’t go on wondering
Can’t let this all end without knowing
Please clear the haze
Does my soul live for evermore
Or should I start to count the days
Just how fast must I explore
