David was a boy, just a letch
A simple means of birth, oh so sick
Another wasted life, like so many before
But David wanted better, so much more

David's got a feeling, earthly bounds are retreating
He's gonna get to heaven tonight
David's got a feeling, earthly bounds are retreating
All he has to do is step into the light

The promise of heaven out of reach
With expectations he couldn't meet
But David found a way to jump the line
A back door in to a life divine

Death comes swiftly, for those who wait
But he's just like the rest of us, an impatient ingrate
