When I swam to the edges of the sea It came to me, I was deceased Before we die, we buy an afterlife The rich can buy paradise Too many souls on the Earth Too many born and dying Death cannot lead to rebirth Souls must be kept from flying So I ran to the edges of the earth To estimate what I was worth I was worth a river and a field Such a shame it wasn't real Too many souls on the Earth Too many born and dying Death cannot lead to rebirth Souls must be kept from flying So I flew to the edges of the sky To prove that I had truly died Was this what I'd worked all my life to earn? A gilded cage of no return, will they learn? Too many souls on the Earth We cannot grow forever There's no more room for rebirth So we created Heaven
