I died one day, I went somewhere
Somewhere in the afterlife
I looked around to see someone
If it wasn’t hell I was just fine
I took some steps, walked alone
hoping something to happen, sometime
To my surprise I found no one
Felt like I was the only one alive
There was a pond with crystal clear water
The surface of it was resembling a mirror
I walked to it and I looked into it closer
There I saw my face
I’ve had never seen it more clearer
Then it changed, it started to play
a small motion picture of mine
I was there, things I knew was there
A lot was going on in my mind
As it played on I slowly understood
Little by little the things would align
It was telling me, it was playing for me
Just how my life would have been fine
Saw I befriend with Tom, I’d forgiven him
letting go of the beef I had
I said sorry to Ben as I was also wrong
It was not so cool to be that mad
Saw I talked more with Dad, listened more to Mom
So they were okay that I joined the band
They’d loved me more than I thought, damn I was wrong
Oh where the hell did I stand?
Saw I was getting drunk and pass out
and waking up not knowing what
Getting stoned, getting high as kites
in a starry night under a mountain hut
Adopting a dog, travelling around the world
to see beaches, lakes and rivers
Saw I asked out my favourite girl
That play was full of endeavours
Saw I moved on after she turned me down
learning to take it off my mind
Rejection is not the end of the world
I learned to accept it and be fine
I saw I fell in love again, darn, how come?
Nah, this play cannot be mine
No way! I get married! oh, that’s my wedding
It went on to show my kid oh my!
In that pond on crystal clear water
I saw my life’s alternate mirror
What kinda life I could have had
should’ve been my life, now I feel bad
I’ve just spent my life and died and I’m seeing
now how precious is life & how it should have been
I’m dead but not in hell, not in heaven, is this real?
Oh I had a life but I have never lived
Now I just have to keep looking at the life I never lived
