[Shy]
I have seen the after

For some, it's a wood
Dim but sweet to walk
Others, it's an ocean
Smellin' bright 'n white 'n mist;
Or it's all stone that's burned...
Yer after is whatever ya've earned

Trav'llin' through the after
You're soon at a gate
Or a shore of sand –
Aye, some entrance to a country
Where you'll pass your goodly time
Ya shout, "Where's the one who runs this show?"
And a soul steps near
Whisp'rin' "Only we are here..."

Welcome to the after
Aye, welcome to the after
Aye, aye, aye, they sing!

There
God is there
God is air, there
God is the mother ya thought lost
She's your husband, he's your child
And now, you, too
Now, God is you, too
God is over, under through

Yet
This time in the after
I swear Daniel looked
Right at me in a glass –
The light turned gray and green
Like the eyes as I once had –
And he reached out his hand
Sayin', "Leave my Deadland, Shy"

Smilin' like the moon
"Goodbye, my friend," he said
"We'll be together... Soon"
