Why Wait for Heaven Lyrics

People dying every day
To prove their god's the only way
But what kind of paradise
Would favour some and some deny
Why, why
Why wait for heaven 'til we die
And I heard an ancient tale
A parable of heaven and hell
And all that set the two apart
Was kindness in the human heart

Why, why
Why wait for heaven 'til we die
And just around this time of year
People singing Christmas cheer
But what a joyous song would sound
If love for all were all year round
Why, why, why, why
Why wait for heaven 'til we die
