From this world stay detached
Never a lonely heart dispatch
Seek the spirit of the heart
Tell the spirit of the mind, depart
It’s in the heart that God resides
And in the mind where Man defies
The world is where corruption thrives
And in the heart that truth’s alive
So seek within yourself my friend
Tune out the masses that offend
In a quite place the answers found
And in the chaos you’re turned around
Be resolute in your faith
Humble in a life lived straight
Be strong within this holding cell
This temporal place, dying shell
Stay focused on final goal
Eternal life is yours to hold
Be good and loving, honest and true
But most of all my friend be you
