The sky looked strange to me one day.
My heart stopped and I got ready
to fly away
And I cried in my soul, “Lord you’ve come quickly!”
And I cry even so, “Lord come now,”
I’ve been prayin’ for the end of the world every day.
I’ve been prayin’ for the end of the world every day.
No offense, Brother, I know we’ve got our plans
But I’ve been prayin’ for the end of the world every day.
I’ve been prayin’ for the end of the world every day.
I’ve been prayin’ for the end of the world every day.
No offense, Mother, yes your child sure is fine.
But I’ve been prayin’ for the end of the world every day.
No offense Brother, no offense Mother,
no offense sister, stranger, friend.
But this world,
Ain’t where we’re meant to stay.
So I been prayin’ for the end of the world everyday.
Dust to dust, ash to ash,
This all will surely pass.
Dust to dust, ash to ash,
This all will surely pass.
Dust to dust, ash to ash,
This all will surely pass.
Then we will meet the Lord.
Dust to dust
Can you conceive it?
Ash to Ash
Can you believe it?
Dust to dust
Can you receive it
Ash to Ash
How should you live it?
The sky………….. will look strange……………… to you……………… one day.
