Default Re: songs with SPIRITUAL essence

another I find quite spiritual (I think he also speaks as a "Rainy Day People").
I think loyalty and truth are quite important to Lightfoot in his personal life and in the themes of his writing. He speak for many of us.

Heaven Don't Deserve Me

I'm not afraid that when I'm dying
There'll be no one to hold my hand
If there's a God up there he loves me
As much as my old women can

I don't intend to be a martyr
I don't give a damn what people say
And if I never get to heaven
Heaven don't deserve me anyway

I've tasted life both good and evil
At times I was cruel and did not pay
And if I never get to heaven
Heaven don't deserve me anyway

I don't know what it was I came for
But I've enjoyed it up 'till until now
If there's a friend who ever needs me
I'll do my best to help somehow

I don't intend to keep no secrets
I don't give a damn what people say
And if I never get to heaven
Heaven don't deserve me anyway

I know and I'll admit my failures
I don't give a damn what people say
And if I never get to heaven
Heaven don't deserve me anyway

And if I never get to heaven
Heaven don't deserve me anyway
