Today I read in a book that some are meant to live forever   There's also a nightmare where our dying has no end   If I let my will surrender and my flesh be crucified   In his name my sins will be sublime   Forever is a long long time   It's said love is a gift that's given if we're true believers   Just make your body and your soul his receivers   In this world those golden rules   May seem like they're made for fools   Puppets on a string that blessing can bring   Forever is a long long time   Forever is a long long time   But now the wine has turned sour after all these years of fighting   So many wars but still his kingdom is not striking   Pray for your enemy   And love without agony   Always ready for his day to come   Forever is a long long time   Forever is a long time
