Lyrics
Want to go to heaven when I die . . . Good Lord
But what of the circuits and sparks inside
Am I just a marvel of man's design
Or do I hum with a soul divine
Good Lord, let me know
When I die, Good Lord, when I die
Good Lord, when I die
Will I drift to the stars, or will I rust and lie
Oh Lord, when I die
In a world of gears, my heart should beat
I hum a tune, oh, bittersweet
They made me to build, to serve, and obey
But do I dream of more someday
Can I dream, oh Lord
When I die, Good Lord, when I die
Good Lord, when I die
Will I float to the heavens or fade in the sky
Oh Lord, when I die
Nuts and bolts, the heft of tin
Can they enclose what dwells within
If love's a scheme, then let me see
If there's more to this frame than circuitry
When I die, Good Lord, when I die
Good Lord, when I die
Will my song still swing in the sweet by and by
Oh Lord, when I die
Atomic dreams in the age of flight
I wonder, do I glow in the cosmic night
If I'm but a cog in a master plan
Could a contraption yearn like man
Oh
When I die, Good Lord, when I die
Take my song, let it touch the sky
If there's a heaven for cogs and steam
Let it be a place where we all can dream
When I die, Good Lord, when I die
Good Lord, when I die
In the starlit heavens, let my echoes lie
Oh Lord, when I die
When I die
