[Strict spoken word, no melody, no singing under any condition] [Spoken Word – slow, warm, reflective, elderly male voice] We all live in a bubble in the sky... good guys... and bad guys... and you and I... (pause) But eventually... the selfish... the greedy... the hateful... the angry... the mean... the warmongers... the killers... and those who harm children... those who harm animals... (pause) They will all be gone... (long pause) Peace and tranquility will reign... goodwill to all... (pause) But this can't happen all by itself... We can't change the world... we can't change others... we can only change ourselves... (pause) We must strive always to become a better person... And although we will fail at times... we must never give up... (long pause) But if we think we don't have to change... that heaven awaits us regardless... (pause) how can that be...? There are no devils in heaven... If that were not so... it wouldn't be called heaven... (pause) If we die in a heavenly state of mind... we will remain in that state... If we die in a hellish state... we will remain so... (pause) There is no other rational explanation... (long pause) Did the master not say... Heaven is neither here nor there... (pause) It is within...
