To say one's in a better place
I'm not sure what that means
As this place, Earth, our world divine
May be where courage leans
Earth is where the sunsets glaze
The coral, smiling shore
Where waves caress the sandy quilts
Where sea gulls reign galore
Earth is where an infant's skin
Is softer than a peach
Where we can hold on willingly
When things seem out of reach
Earth is God and Heaven
And hope and trust and love
Beneath the silky ivory wings
Of his almighty dove
Earth is where our daily lives
Through goodness we attend
Are melded with the will of God
Earth's heavens never end
Heaven is inside our hearts
Its harps our inner voice
Its outline is our inner strength
Its warmth a sacred choice
