What are they doing in heaven today

Where sin and sorrow have all gone away

Peace abounds like a river they say

What are they doing there now?

Who lived and suffered in this world below

But they're gone off to heaven, but I want to know

What are they doing there now?

There's some whose hearts were burdened with care

They pay for their moment with fighting and tears

What are they doing there now?

There's some who were poor and often despised

They looked up toward heaven with tear-blinded eyes

While people heedless and deaf to their cries
