Sing a Song of Harmony

I think I’ll tell you all about, the things you should not hear. About the reason for our life, why your God placed us here. We’re given life to sample sin of flesh and mind and soul, and grab a bit of devilment to take back to the whole. For when at last our life is run we pass to greater things, and grow our wings and float back up to where the harpist sings. To sing a song of harmony and smile with joy all day. Oh God, if that’s what heavens about, that’s not a place I’d stay. For in heavenly fulfilment my soul would rot away, I’d shed my wings and tumble back .... to live another day. For life is for the living, not for dead beats on a cloud. To be born again is better than to always wear a shroud. Join your Godhead if you must, stay for eternity. But I’d go back to dwell below, where life is meant to be. To share a bit of hell on Earth and have fun every day, for living I’ll have a beer to drink and different tunes to play. So sing a song of harmony and joke and laugh and dance . for when you’re dead it’s possible, ………...you may not get the chance! Ivor G Davies
