Our minds have both now withered ‘way
From Eagle’s land on in to space
Edge to edge we float on by
Past the stars that lit the sky
And on we go until we stop
To look, we on, at heaven’s top.

We wander up until we reach
That holy, sandy, beauty beach
And open up the Red Sea Gates
For every person’s final fate
And as we walk that path on down
Our memories race from birth to crown.

And at the end before the last
It’s time to view the present’s past
We turn around to look behind
To see our families, who so are kind
They gather there to say goodbye
We wave, and part, and then we die.
