(Chorus:)
What are they doing in heaven today?
Where pain and sorrow are so far away.
Where peace abounds like a river they say.
What are they doing right now?

I'm thinking of friends I used to know.
Who lived and suffered on this world below.
Now they're going to heaven but I want to know.
What are they doing right now?
(Chorus)

Like the son who's body was so full of disease
Cops and priests could not bring him ease
Angel of death brought final release.
What are they doing right now?
(Chorus)

Like the son who was poor and often despised.
Neighbors would add "DEATH" to their cries.
He'd look to the cross with tear blinded eyes.
What are they doing right now?
(Chorus)
