What does it matter, a dream of love

We're all gonna be the same place

The quill from a buzzard

I want to know am I the sky

And heaven is full

We're chained to the world

And we all gotta pull

And we're all gonna be...

They were throbbing, they were red

As he swung out over the crowd
Ab C7
I heard the hangman said

We're all gonna be...

Just dirt in the ground

Now Cain slew Abel

He killed him with a stone

The sky cracked open
Ab C7
And the thunder groaned

Along a river of flesh

Can these dry bones live?
Eb
Ask a king or a beggar
Ab C7
And the answer they'll give
Fm C# Eb Fm
Is we're all gonna be...
(4 times)
Fm
We're all gonna be just
