Analysis of THE WAY



There is a way that we all must go
The bestest of men the worstest of foe
Through greatest of pain through easiest flow
This is the way that we all must go

This is the way that we all must leave
Whether faint or lost, accomplished, achieved
Atheist, agnostic, or strongly believe
This is the way that we all must leave

This is the way that we bid farewell
taken by choice or forcibly compelled
Entrance to HEAVEN or darkest of hell
This is the way to our farewell

This is the way that we all should go
Embracing HIS GRACE, ne'er letting go
For eternity's bliss, press, onward we go
This indeed is the way that we all should go
