It’s All in the Heavens

It’s all in the heavens, they always claim.

The power you desire, the might you request,

Are all in the heavens, they claim to me.

It’s all from the heavens, they always suggest.

The morals you follow, the gifts you receive.

Are all from the heavens, they suggest to me.

It’s all in the heavens?

I here must ask.

It’s all from the heavens?

I here must question.

For if it’s true there’s no reason to thrive,

Except for reaching the heavens.

Seeing the boatloads of treasures,

I here must disagree.

It’s not all in the heavens, I shall say.

The relations we build, the knowledge we seek,

The efforts we achieve, the legacy we leave,

Are from our earthly lives, I say to all.
