Welcome On Board

i have built
a ship of eternity
to cross the oceans of mystery
which sails through
the storms of tragedy
even through the wind
and the tide
with god on our side
it a golden age
and we need to open a new page
everyone is welcome on board
a simple life everyone can afford
for the pen is 
mightier than the sword
a higher institution
far better than a nation
built on illusion
a house of salvation
and a valley of redemption
whatever the matter
descending between good and evil
will only make us prosper
for in the island of eternity
is the hidden treasure
so listen and listen well
the body will fair you well
but the spirit is forever
