  • I woke up late
    Put my sweater on
    And I walked down to the shop
    I stood in line
    'Til the line was gone
    And my turn to win was lost

    What do you do
    When you look to the left and to the right
    And find no clue?

    Well I'm sending a letter to God
    How will it be when I'm gone?
    And what if everyone is wrong?

    I took you in
    Made a bed for you
    And in turn you gave me some
    Words to go on
    Told me I was saved
    But you never said what from

    What do you do
    When you look to the left and to the right
    And find no clues
    To the questions you ask yourself at night?
    Who will come through?

    You'll be sending a letter to God
    How will it be when you're gone?
    And what if everyone is wrong?

    A solid case
    For the innocent
    Could be made and laid to rest
    They say, "it won't do
    If you aren't like us
    Then you've failed the final test"

    What do you feel
    When you look to the east and to the west
    If this is real
    Does it feel like some never ending test?
    A finance deal
    If this is my one last chance to invest
    I've one request

    I'll be sending a letter to God
    To know where will I go when I'm gone
    And what if everyone is wrong? Writer/s: Jeff Trott, Sheryl Crow
