Heaven on Earth
The scene was one morning, about 10 AM, in a conference room somewhere in spaceOne by one all the celestials dropped in until all of the host was in placeRefreshments were offered, some white fluffy cake and a kettle of warm steamy milkEverything served up on porcelain plates on a table of linen and silk"May I bring this meeting to order" was heard and all turned to the head of the room"I welcome you all to this high-level council, we've plenty of work to resume..."A steno stood up with a pad in one hand and announced the agenda in rhyme"There's the matter of buckling Orion's belt and of cleaning the Milky Way's grimeAnd someone's donated two huge pearly gates and they're stirring up quite the big fussFor to make matters worse now, the Salvation Army has given the darn things to usBut firstly and foremost, this annual assembly has holy intention and worthFor we're gathered together to work out the plan for the placement of Heaven on Earth"A poet took the podium and offered a prayer - "Where our vision falls short, may we see,May we do all we can to insure that all beings will be the Blessed they can be"Two nurses continued by pleading for peace "And for gentleness" Joan of Arc beamedAnd the good Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said a prayer for all those who had dreamed"The floor is now open, the research committee will render their statements and notesAnd when we've heard all the proposals then everyone makes their decision and votesSo one by one cherubs were stating their cases saying Heaven should be here or thereSome lobbied for down in the deepest of oceans, some argued for up in the airBut when all was concluded it was quite apparent that this was a point on which few could agree'Twas no simple matter deciding just where this Dominion of Heaven should beLetras de cancionesAt last in the silence a small voice was heard from a humble and timorous man"My name's Murray Goldberg, I'm still on probation, but I think that I got a good plan."It seems I've been spending my lifetime alone in my search for my soul and my sourceAnd I've shunned the distraction of my fellow beings for the fear that they'd throw me off courseBut when I get together with one or more others there's nothing that feels so divineTo be in communion with sisters and brothers must surely be Heaven's designSo how 'bout we scrap all the blueprints and plans and instead we install it by partsAnd we put a large portion of Heaven deep down in the corner of everyone's heartAgain there was silence, and then an explosion, unanimous beating of wings and of legsAnd the meeting had gone through the night to the dawn, so St. Benedict started some eggsHarriet Tubman went off for her train, St. Bernard went off walking his dog"I'm taking a couple of tablets," says Moses, while Murray was simply agogBut from that moment forward the issue was passedWith a permanent home by decreeWhere two or more beings are gathered in loveHere the Realm of all Heaven shall be
