lyrics

A white tunic walked up to a staircase
Pouring out celestial light in the stairway
The light cascaded over the floor
His eyes opened but he cant look forward no more
Floor 7 out of 13 that was where he was locked
Questioned bout the life he lived, that's when he was stopped
The anonymous voice he cried toward
Socratically pried more, emphatically eyes poured
As he, realized his arrogant, erroneous ways
He cried promising it won't be the same
He hoped to regain his life while he prayed to Christ
By doing some good deeds just to make it right
Alright, I repent for all the lack of compassion
I wish I had learned sooner then none of this would've happened my Lord
Gimme one year approximately
For the chance to redo things oppositely, please

If you were... given a chance to win back your soul
Would you... really change or just let it go?
We all... been given many chances in life
If we don't... take advantage they'll be passin us by

The next soul crawled in from a long line
Said she had been waitin a long time, it's all fine
She ain't get why she was being judged
She said she only did what she need to feed her son
When the time of your death was growin near
You still sold ya body like overseer
Knowin clear that you were infected with AIDS
While you coughin to your grave, now you left your only son as an orphan what a shame...
But I... give you props for not gettin abortion
You lose props not lovin yourself more when
I tried to teach you self-worth at birth
But for whatever reason you rejected the church
Evil lurks every corner don't give it a chance
To get an advance, kill you or hinder your plans
...But I'ma put you back on Earth, just to make it right
And see what you do with a second chance to change a life

If you were given a chance to win back your soul
Would you... really change or just let it go?
We all... been given many chances in life
If we don't... take advantage they'll be passin us by

The last soul gave a kick 'til he broke the door
He really didn't care what was goin' on, so of course
He was the first to speak wit a causticness
Not understandin' Atheism had a consequence
Its concernin him like:
"After all this... can you tell me what's the purpose of life?"
Was it... bein holy... and servin you right?
By repeatin all them cliche proverbial lines?
I... shoulda' been perfect as a servant of Christ
Nah... I was hurtin feelin worthless inside"
Now, God spoke to his son in a soft tone
Starin' at his quivering jawbone his heart broke
He replied: "You didn't need to be perfect
I care about what you doin, not how you look on the surface
And I... cried for you, my only son died for you
To make it right, I'm revivin' you - have faith"

If you were given a chance to win back your soul
Would you... really change or just let it go?
We all... been given many chances in life
If we don't... take advantage they'll be passin us by
