Verse 1:
Looking at the stars, wondering if they shine for me
Is there more to come when this life is done, or is it just a memory?
The nights grow long, and the shadows seem to call my name
In the silence, I hear whispers saying life’s a fleeting game.
Chorus:
Oh, is God standing there at the gates of time?
Waiting with open arms, ready to hear my rhyme
When I close my eyes, will my spirit soar?
Or is this all there is, just a fading roar?
Verse 2:
Walking down these old dirt roads, got a heavy heart and tired feet
Wondering about the path ahead; will it lead to something sweet?
Every sunset paints a picture that I wish to understand
Is it just the beauty of the world, or a wave of a greater hand?
Chorus:
Oh, is God standing there at the gates of time?
Waiting with open arms, ready to hear my rhyme
When I close my eyes, will my spirit soar?
Or is this all there is, just a fading roar?
Bridge:
I’ve seen love, I’ve seen pain, felt the weight of every scar
I’ve chased the fleeting moments, like the light of a distant star
And if there’s more waiting, beyond this earthly plane
I’ll hold onto hope, through the joy and through the pain.
Chorus:
Oh, is God standing there at the gates of time?
Waiting with open arms, ready to hear my rhyme
When I close my eyes, will my spirit soar?
Or is this all there is, just a fading roar?
Outro:
So I’ll breathe in the beauty, embrace every single day
Holding on to the question, as I make my way
And if there’s more to come when this life is done,
I’ll find peace in the journey, knowing I am not alone.
