After

After

Verse 1

After I die what will become of me?

Will I return to dust?

There are only two possibilities

I could be alive or dead for eternity

I've contemplated my existence after death

I must admit that I'm scared

Isn't everyone?

Verse 2

I have lied, I have cheated

I have stolen, I have been selfish

Does that mean I'm condemned to Hell?

If I ask for forgiveness will I be forgiven?

If I am, will I go to Heaven?

Will my soul live on after I die?

Is there such a thing as purgatory?

If there is, will I be there?

Bridge

There's so many things I would have done differently

Now that I can, I'll be more respectful

I'll have more compassion and empathy

If I do all of those things

Will I be saved or left to suffer

These questions run through my mind

But answers are nowhere to be found

Chorus 

Will I meet angels after I die?

Will I encounter other departed souls?

What should I expect?

What will happen to me?

Will I know I'm dead after I die?
