We're Already In Heaven

(album: To Memphis - 2019)

One day we will dissipate
Reassign our molecules and float away
And leave behind all wealth
To become part of something else
Somewhere

Out there in the galaxy
Up among the stars or in the depths of the seas
Where the only song's the sound
Of the universe expanding endlessly
Into eternity

We're already in the Heavens
We were always in the Heavens
We're already in Heaven

What if I said I don't pray
Would you think of me a Rabelaisian case
Or just a man thinking at night
With a modicum of insight
Honestly
It's all you need

To see right through all beliefs
To glean the wheat and realize the chaff was never real
And all the stories are the same
Love and oneness at their center
Nothing changes
Other than the names
Yes

We were always in the Heavens
We're already in Heaven

I could not help but leave
That vineyard produced only wine to feed the ego's greed
And in the end all that I found
Was already written down for me
In Ecclesiastes:
Everything is meaningless
There's neither rhyme nor reason to the order or the mess
Yet that sparkle in your eyes
Is like the birthing of Sirius
I simply must confess

We're already in the Heavens
We were always in the Heavens
We're already in Heaven
