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's 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 or 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 and nobody's growing old
You find an old friends and take a walk around
But believe them when they say
"I'll 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
