Gonna go to the place that's the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky (spirit in the sky)
That's where I'm gonna go when I die (when I die)
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Prepare yourself you know it's a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He's gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky (spirit in the sky)
Oh he'll recommend you to the spirit in the sky
That's where you're gonna go when you die (when you die)
When you die and they lay you to rest
You're gonna go to the place that's the best
Never been a sinner, I never sinned
I got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die
He's gonna set me up
with the spirit in the sky
Oh set me up with the spirit in the sky (spirit in the sky)
That's where I'm gonna go when I die (when I die)
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Go to the place that's the best

This shows that song writer/singer is probably not being truthful is lying to himself he's conflicted.]]> 2022-03-25 18:04:26 UTC https://padlet.com/brownmaddox/Bookmarks/wish/2114265500 Imagery brownmaddox https://padlet.com/brownmaddox/Bookmarks/wish/2114266276 "When you die and they lay you to rest
You're gonna go to the place that's the best"
The singer/song writer is depicting that when he dies he's going to end up heaven/ a better place.]]> 2022-03-25 18:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/brownmaddox/Bookmarks/wish/2114266276 Repetition brownmaddox https://padlet.com/brownmaddox/Bookmarks/wish/2114286959 "When I die (when I die)"
The constant repeating of this phrase emphasizes the song writer/singer words to the listener that they are preparing for death he knows and considers that he will die one day.]]> 2022-03-25 18:19:13 UTC https://padlet.com/brownmaddox/Bookmarks/wish/2114286959 Tone brownmaddox https://padlet.com/brownmaddox/Bookmarks/wish/2114295197 "When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best"
I feel the tone/mood that the song is depicting could be considered Happy, energetic, he's accepting that he's going to die and meet Jesus and go heaven the quote " Gonna go to the place that's the best." is the narrator of the song being ok almost happy to die when the time comes in his life.]]> 2022-03-25 18:24:55 UTC https://padlet.com/brownmaddox/Bookmarks/wish/2114295197
