VERSE 1
When I get to heaven
I'll take my seat on a lonely bench
By the fields of heaven
I'll sit and think about my life
The life I lived, the things I did
The places I went
CHORUS 1
I hope I never say I regret the way I lived
I hope I never say: please let me go back
I don't wanna say: can I go back to do some more
I don't wanna say I wanna go back
VERSE 2
When I get to heaven
I'll roam the streets and the highways
I'll walk the lanes
I'll see the heroes of the faith
Compare myself to those who shine
Like the stars and receive the crown
CHORUS 1
I hope I never say I regret the way I lived
I hope I never say: please let me go back
I don't wanna say: can I go back to do some more
I don't wanna say I wanna go back
VERSE 3
When you get to heaven
You'll see your friends and the folks from church
The first will be last
And then the last will be the first
And I hope you'll be among the last
Who become the first
CHORUS 2
I hope you never say you regret the way you lived
I hope you never say you wanna go back
You don't wanna say: could you go back to do some more
You don't wanna say you wanna go back
INTERLUDE
CHORUS 1
