He thought he saw a bright and beautiful place, but it was
only his life,
He thought he saw a happy and easy time, but it was only his
childhood,
He thought he saw a glamorous future, but it was only his
teens,
He thought he saw a good job and a perfect family, but it
was only his middle age
He thought he saw a good pension and a quiet time in a
cabin, but it was only his old age,
He thought he saw an eternal life, and O, how happy he was
to see it was death.
