524. Why do we waste our time?
O Beauty, you and IBelong to Heaven.
Why do we waste our time
Here on this ugly earth?
O Joy, you and I
Belong to Heaven.
Why do we waste our time
Here in this world of sorrows and pangs?
O Freedom, you and I
Belong to Heaven.
Why do we waste our time
Here in this night of bondage?
O Perfection, you and I
Belong to Heaven.
Why do we waste our time
Here on this dark-spotted planet?
Let us go, let us run
Towards our Heaven-free life!
