PIE IN THE SKY

Verse 1
Long ago living on the street
A man needs a helping hand
He asked a Major with a tambourine
From the Starvation Army Band
Hey lady can you help me out
I need a crust of bread
I’ve never known it to be so cold
And I don’t want to end up dead

Chorus 1
Won’t you save me
Help me to survive
Won’t you feed me
So I can get by - oh my

Verse 2
She gave an answer
It was bitter-sweet
I’m sorry I can’t fill your bowl
But if you tell me you’re a sinner and sorry
Then maybe I can feed your soul

Chorus 2
Let me save you
All you got to do is die
And in a glorious land
You will eat pie in the sky

Middle
Everybody knows their time will come
(And he died because of what could not be done)
Everybody knows that when you’re gone
(Now if he’s up in the sky - does he get his pie each day)?
You won’t be coming back this way

Verse 3
I’m not sure if there’s a heaven or hell
I guess I’ll have to wait to tell
But if you’re asking for a leap of faith
You’ll have to wait as well

Chorus 3
It’s just crazy
It weighs heavy on my mind
Is there a glorious land?
Or could it be pie in the sky?

Alright … It’s just crazy,
It weighs heavy on my mind
Is there a glorious land?
Or could it be pie in the sky?

Is there a glorious land?
Maybe it’s pie in the sky
