David roth heaven on earth[00:00:12]
The scene was one morning[00:00:14]
About 10am[00:00:15]
In a conference room somewhere in space[00:00:15]
One by one all the celestials dropped in until all of the host was in place[00:00:20]
Refreshments were offered[00:00:26]
Some white fluffy cake and a kettle of warm steamy milk[00:00:27]
Everything served up on porcelain plates on a table of linen and silk[00:00:33]
May I bring this meeting to order was heard and all turned to the head of the room[00:00:40]
I welcome you all to this high level council[00:00:46]
We've plenty of work to resume[00:00:49]
A steno stood up with a pad in one hand and announced the agenda in rhyme[00:00:53]
There's the matter of buckling orion's belt and of cleaning the milky way's grime[00:00:58]
And someone's donated two huge pearly gates and they're stirring up quite the big fuss[00:01:04]
For to make matters worse now[00:01:10]
The salvation army has given the darn things to us[00:01:11]
But firstly and foremost[00:01:17]
This annual assembly has holy intention and worth[00:01:18]
For we're gathered together to work out the plan for the placement of heaven on earth[00:01:24]
A poet took the podium and offered a prayer where our vision falls short[00:01:31]
May we see[00:01:35]
May we do all we can to insure that all beings will be the blessed they can be[00:01:37]
Two nurses continued by pleading for peace and for gentleness joan of arc beamed[00:01:43]
And the good dr[00:01:50]
Martin luther king jr[00:01:51]
Said a prayer for all those who had dreamed[00:01:53]
The floor is now open[00:01:58]
The research committee will render their statements and notes[00:01:59]
And when we've heard all the proposals then everyone makes their decision and votes[00:02:03]
So one by one cherubs were stating their cases saying heaven should be here or there[00:02:10]
Some lobbied for down in the deepest of oceans[00:02:16]
Some argued for up in the air[00:02:18]
But when all was concluded it was quite apparent that this was a point on which few could agree[00:02:22]
'Twas no simple matter deciding just where this dominion of heaven should be[00:02:28]
At last in the silence a small voice was heard from a humble and timorous man[00:02:35]
My name's murray goldberg[00:02:42]
I'm still on probation[00:02:44]
But I think that I got a good plan[00:02:46]
It seems I've been spending my lifetime alone in my search for my soul and my source[00:02:50]
And I've shunned the distraction of my fellow beings for the fear that they'd throw me off course[00:02:56]
But when I get together with one or more others there's nothing that feels so divine[00:03:02]
To be in communion with sisters and brothers must surely be heaven's design[00:03:08]
So how 'bout we scrap all the blueprints and plans and instead we install it by parts[00:03:15]
And we put a large portion of heaven deep down in the corner of everyone's heart[00:03:22]
Again there was silence[00:03:32]
And then an explosion[00:03:34]
Unanimous beating of wings and of legs[00:03:36]
And the meeting had gone through the night to the dawn[00:03:38]
So st[00:03:41]
Benedict started some eggs[00:03:42]
Harriet tubman went off for her train[00:03:46]
St[00:03:48]
Bernard went off walking his dog[00:03:49]
I'm taking a couple of tablets says moses[00:03:52]
While murray was simply agog[00:03:57]
But from that moment forward the issue was passed[00:04:02]
With a permanent home by decree[00:04:05]
Where two or more beings are gathered in love[00:04:10]
Here the realm of all heaven shall be[00:04:16]
