	This song to me seems to be about how that even after death, you'll still be with the people you love. The whole first verse is very "heavenly" and biblical sounding. I wouldn't know though, I'm athiest.

No Picture Aaron Average	#3 by Aaron Smith at Aug 3, 1976 at 2:51 AM EST
	ths is the first oar song that i had ever heard. i'm sorry but you just can't help but smile when you hear it. it's the perfect pick-me-up song.

No Picture maximus Average	#4 by maximus hyrule at Jan 12, 1977 at 10:51 PM EST
	This is one of their best songs. I lost a classmate earlier this year because she was hit by a bus while riding her bike. This song reminds me of holding hands with her and all of the loved ones that I have lost. This is a great song about all differnt types of peoplke meeting up in heaven.

No Picture Stephen Average	#5 by Stephen Weber at Aug 25, 1977 at 11:53 PM EST
	I recently lost 3 good friends with in a year and a half. I printed out the lyrics to this amazing OAR song after my second friend passed away. I remember it was a January and I had not been able to see him during the previous christmas, so I never was able to give him the gift i found for him. The present was a JACKASS T-shirt. I was indeed able to give my friend this shirt that he would have loved, and his mother decided that since he would have loved the shirt she wanted him to have it. SO he was dressed in this shirt under his dress shirt, and i remeber thinking about this song and how I would be able to find my friend by that stupid T-shirt that he would have loved and is enjoying now in heaven. I believe this song represents heaven and how when my life is over I will be able to return to meet up with fiends who were also great friends themselves, and in the end, my friends, we will all be together again. I beleive this song is straigt forward in meaning. In the end all friends will be reunited for ever and ever. We will be able to "feel home" in the after life with the people we love. Thus we should all love oneanother because we will all be reunited agian in the end, and we will indeed live in harmony. So I hope my friend is quite happy with that damn T-shirt because he is stuck with it. See you soon Benji, Steven and Philip.

No Picture Jordan Wanna Be	#7 by Jordan Ivory-Marcotte at May 27, 1979 at 10:18 PM EST
	its hopeful. and heaven or not, i think its about letting go away of yourself and changing (talkin bout changing shoes) in order to enjoy the world in a more perfect way :)

	I love OAR i have known about them for a few years now and this is my absolute favorite song of theirs, I am trying to spread the word about them to my friends and its working now most of them know about oar and like them too.

No Picture Jesse Wanna Be	#9 by Jesse Seibel at Jan 29, 1984 at 5:26 PM EST
	This song just means that it doesn't matter who you are or where your from or who you know but we all die some day and the people you knew in your lifetime that meant everything to you will someday be there in heaven with you. He even says this on one of the live versions(34th n 8th at the end of old man time) " this next song is our idea of no matter where you come from, and what you look like, and i dont really care, I think one day no matter what, you and yours and your friends and your loved ones will someday be together again, and that's what we wrote this song thinking about."

	An athiest, dub12, is someone who chooses to not accept the possibility of one god or multiple gods.

	on the 34th & 8th cd, marc says its about heaven. everyone will be happy in the land, just smiling and living in a city of paradise.

No Picture blake Average	#12 by blake pratt at Aug 27, 1987 at 11:56 PM EST
	only one possible meaning to this song...in my mind at least.. afterlife... "we'll all b together again"

No Picture Nic Rhythm Player	#13 by Nic F at May 29, 1988 at 9:37 PM EST
	It's about a place that, they as a group, decided you go after you die. I don't think it's a lace you can reach until the afterlife though, so I don't think it's about Israel.

No Picture Dan Lead Player	#15 by Dan archy at Mar 29, 1989 at 8:23 PM EST
	I think....This song is about how one day him and his friends will end up "together again" having a ball....in "the land". This is a reference to Israel, because Israel is often refered to as "Ha'aretz", or The Land (in Hebrew). Yes, OAR are Zionists.

No Picture Lucas Average	#17 by Lucas Gracia at May 9, 1994 at 7:46 PM EST
	Although it does sound very heavenly and biblical, there is also the possibility that when we die we are all together in death, because well, we're all dead.
