Analysis of Heaven Sent



Hello…
is anyone around
Where am I?
I can not see the ground

Hello…
Can anyone hear me
What is this peaceful place
Hello…
This place doesn’t scare me
I’m floating in a grace

“Hello Stephen
Welcome to heaven
You’re here because you’re dead
I’m sure you have many questions
Echoing in your head”

How did I die?
Was it a tragedy ?
Did people cry?
Were they mad at me?
Did I die alone ?
Was I in pain?
I’m in the unknown ,
Please explain …

“Dear Stephen you were loved
By most who knew you
When you flew like a dove
They cried many tears for you
You died alone in your bed
In peace in your dreams
The voices in your head
They now cease to scream “

Where will I go?
Who will I see?
Please let me know !
I’m here on my knees !
Did I save enough souls?
Did I do my best?
Did I finish my goals?
Did I pass the test?
Is this the end?
Or where I begin ?
Please my friend !
Help me within .

“Im an Angel sent to guide
You through these golden gates
You won’t need your human eyes
To see our love radiate
This is your new reality
You have now reached your home
We will watch over your family
While you earn your throne
You did your very best below
The souls you saved are here
You’re now a saint …you know
Free from all your fears
Here in heaven you will fly
Take my hand in your palm
We all had to die
Please remain calm”

Ok I can feel this
My tears no longer fall
My souls in total bliss
My pride standing tall
I’m ready to follow
You through the gates
No longer am I hollow
My spirit elevates
With wings on my back
Clouds below my feet
No thoughts of black
Demons retreat
Take me now  with you
My hand in your hand
Show heavens view
To this humble man
