In the land where death is real
People lie and people steal 
People cheat and people thieve 
But it’s all coz they believe
In a sudden end and in separation
It is reinforced by years of education
Not only in the school
But by social rule 
Where they must obey
Everything their elders say
Only to grow up to be
A repetition endlessly
Instead of creative and new
And everything they swore they would do
When they were five years old 
No one has to be told
To be pilot, to be king
To be bird upon the wing
But you have to be sold 
On being bad, on being “bold” 
And every child knows
The phrase that everything goes 
The way it should be 
I love eternity
As it presents myself 
Amidst “mental health” 
Challenges, they say I’m crazy
But you know it doesn’t phase me 
When I’m twenty eight and in Dean Swift
But the captivity was a gift 
As they try to sit me down 
And say that I will drown 
In all that is unwell
It’s a byword for hell
But I just don’t buy
Everything they try
To sell 
It’s a secret I never tell
But I’m soaring high
Something can never die
And I will go to the lowest low
If it means that someone else’s dreams
Will wake before they shake 
By the bones and skin
It’s not foolhardy to trust in Him 
He who moves the sky into spacious understanding 
He who shows the way without ever demanding 
That you should follow suit 
Oh, the world that we pollute 
With our constant pain
That falls as acid rain 
Or bombs upon the children 
Instead of heartfulness to fill them 
With hope and with pride
And gratitude that they’re alive
I’m sorry to say
That going the wrong way
Means you must repent 
And all things are heaven sent 
Until you realise 
That every time someone cries 
It’s an echo of the sound 
That means God is around 
To show you where the deep 
Is something you can keep 
I didn’t know that I 
Was blessed until my
Whole world was shaken 
But just like in a dream I waken 
And suddenly realise 
That nobody dies
Not in the way we think 
But you don’t know water until you drink 
From that holy font
It is everything I want
And everything I never knew to ask 
I just dropped the mask 
And all was revealed
I guess you could say that I was healed
