This Can Be Heaven After All

It's so easy to lie,
but hard to tell the
truth.

It's so easy to hate, 
but hard to find 
someone who truly 
loves you.

We live in a world
where our ego is
bigger than our heart.

We rather go to war
then live in peace 
among us.

Then they say there 
is a heaven, then this 
must be hell...

Cause all I see is 
heartache, and no 
one seems to care.

Love thy neighbor 
like oneself...

All it takes is one 
good deed, to spread 
the message well.

If we choose to live life
with compassion in our 
hearts...

Then maybe, just maybe 
this can be heaven after 
all.
