Another Day in Paradise
Last year's song of the year was called Another Day in Paradise by Phil Collins. The song tells about a beggar in the street asking, "Can you help me? Isn't there some place you can send me?"
The refrain says, "Think twice; another day you'll be in paradise." The song suggests that we will be judged by how we treat the poor, the needy, the hungry. It's a musical version of the story Jesus told at the end of (Matthew 25). It's about the basis on which God will judge us.
