NO REGRETS
Never regret what yet is to be just relax and float downstream
Caught up in the current as my head goes down, gasping for breath then I drown
The fish swim by laughing at me, I see a light and I start to swim
I'm at Satan's door I'm screwed once more
All of my life try to do the right things, tell me when I die do they know my sins?
Will I go to hell? or ride angel's wings?
Cast back out, on the shore
Can't get in through the pearly doors
If my life was bad, do they know the score?
Stairway up or stairway down, is it just a myth? To keep me down
Will there be nothing? When the end is here
Is my soul not real? Do they know my fears?
All of my life try to do the right things, tell me when I die do they know my sins?
Will I go to hell? or ride angel's wings?
Are the dead just gone? Or are spirits real?
Do they walk around? another body to steal
When you're hair stands up and you get a chill
Will that be me? Will you miss me still?
When I die, can I bring a friend? Or will I be alone again?
All of my life try to do the right things, tell me when I die do they know my sins?
Will I go to hell? or ride angel's wings?
Should I change? Try to do the right things
And when I die see what luck that brings
Should I live for the minute? Just to see what's in it
Never give a thought to the sins committed
Will I have regrets? For things omitted
I guess I'll find out when I get there
When I get downtown or go upstairs
All of my life try to do the right things, tell me when I die do they know my sins?
Will I go to hell? or ride angel's wings? Is it too late to try again?
All of my life try to do the right things, tell me when I die do they know my sins?
Will I go to hell? or ride angel's wings? Is it too late to die again?
