I'm thinkin' today of some friends that I know
Who lived and suffered in this world below
They've gone up to heaven, but I want to know,
What are they doin' right now?
CHORUS:
What are they doin' in heaven today?
Where sin and sorrow have all done away?
Peace abounds like a river, they say.
What are they doin' right now?
There's some whose bodies were full of disease,
Physicians and doctors couldn't give them much ease,
They suffered 'til death brought a final release,
But what are they doin' right now?
CHORUS
There's some who were poor and were often despised.
They looked up to heaven with tear-blinded eyes.
Others were healers and deaf to their cries.
What are they doin' right now?
CHORUS
What are they doin' right now?
What are they doin' right now?
