People are missing from everywhere
No one knows where they went
What's going on, what's happening
They didn't know what it meant
Things are happening so suddenly
We can't tell what's going on
All we know is that many people
From all over our town are gone
We tried to reach a minister
But they won't answer our call
We tried to find out what's going on
No one seems to know at all
How could so many people
Simply just disappear
The crowd got even larger
People came from everywhere
Then one person spoke up
You dont suppose it's true
The things those Christians said
I heard the word rapture, did you
They kept saying that one day
Jesus Christ would come
To take them home with Him
Remember, at them we poked fun
You don't suppose it is true
Was Jesus really real
The things they had told us
They were crazy we did feel
That must be the answer
The only one that makes sense
The only way to Heaven they said
Was if we'd all repent
What else do you think will happen
What else could possibly go wrong
I just don't understand it
Those people are really gone
I wish that I had listened
I wish I'd followed them
I wish I had asked for forgiveness
Now I am stuck here in my sin.
