Point Five

The gates of heaven were only point five miles away
Cool breeze cooling my heels on the gold brick road
I’ve come a long way
I’ve carried a heavy load
Will anyone tell me now
How much do my deeds weigh

Mixed cocktail of virtue and vice
Let’s siphon and count the droplets
Could it be that I’m finally safe
Will you be counting all my regrets
The results are in with frowns turned into jeers and laughter
At point five miles I turned around towards the road most taken
