Heaven or Hell

I met an old blind man, out on the street I gave him some money and something to eat He said, "Come on over here, boy, and sit by me And let me tell you what I still see" He said, "Heaven or Hell, it's up to you And it ain't what you say, it's about what you do It's not what you take, but it's about what you give And it's not what you preach, it's about how you live And it's understood When the haters hate that they won't make it through Heaven's gate" He said, "Mark my words, boy, I still can see We get what we deserve," that's what he said to me That's what he said to me He said, "The fire glows in the dead of night On the streets of Hell, it's the only light In the shadow distance is where you find The soulless sinner who's been left behind And there's a diamond demon down below In the dog day dungeon where the lost ones go And they dwell there now for eternity They all get what they deserve," that's what he said to me "They all get what they deserve" "Some men have venom where blood should be And they treat other men with hostility Consumed by fear, bigotry, and hate Oblivious, they seal their fate And on the broken sidewalks of the burning city They weep and moan and they beg for pity They howl but no one hears their plea And they get what they deserve," that's what he said to me (We get what we deserve) All of us (We get what we deserve) It's up to you (We get what we deserve) Heaven or Hell
