Actually, now that I think about it, the title track from 10,000 Days (both of them, it's a two parter) is an excellent fit. Maynard coming to terms with the passing of his mother who was a devout Christian who believed in heaven, and fitting it into his own values.
After years of railing against the hypocracy of the Christian system and some of it's values with both his bands Tool and A Perfect Circle, he writes a song for his mother, telling her not to be denied at the gates of heaven, as she has surely been far more 'Christian' than a lot of those who would fall behind that banner.
It's a Pink Floyd'esque journey with amazing poetry that is sure to make your eyes water. And it brings you through that whole spiritual journey where you question everything, but leave love in your heart. Also brings up the struggles of those that don't believe, when they have special people in their life who not only believe, but are very devout.
