I Believe

I believe in life eternal Free from all my earthly craves My soul flying free to heaven When my body is in its grave Here on earth the soul is tested Into the fire the pain to feel As we lose our life’s companions And death our brothers it does steal Yet our souls they must be steadfast Growing with each blow that lands Learning why we first must suffer Before we walk on Heavens sands Make not gods from lust and money Worship not the golden chain Forget what the mirror tells you Then you’ll have a lot to gain Be at peace with all around you Love the stranger as your own Wake each day to make a difference In the world that we call home
