Heaven.Hell.Bible.Jesus

And what if Hell is just a place in your life that is gloomy
And Heaven is just a place where your consciousness is roomy
And Jesus Christ is just a guy to model ourselves after
And God is just an energy that prompts altruism and laughter
And the Bible is just a book with a plot and a story
And where Boy Meets World - Eve is Topanga and Adam is Cory
And being nailed to the cross is a symbol of sacrifice
Which is what we'll need to overcome in order to reach paradise
And the parting of the red sea was imagery for us to see
That anything is truly possible if we use our thoughts to be free
And turning water into wine was to increase our belief in miracles
And the Holy Ghost was for us to understand that we are really spiritual
And the 12 disciples signify how our lives can have clutter
Because not everyone we believe in deserves to be at the last supper
And sometimes life will feel flooded with lots of water and some sharks
But if we listen to our intuition we can reconstruct Noah's Ark
And what if Isiah and Jeremiah were not just servants and prophets
What if we are messengers too, with a message that'll make us a profit
And the story of the people of Nazareth turning their backs
Are the same people in our life whom we continue to cut some slack
And the old testament is the part of our life where we can't walk on our own
And the new testament is where we are accountable, in control and have grown
And that there is nothing at all wrong with having faith of a mustard seed
As long as we don't use our belief to stoke our egos and muster greed

And religion was created as a formality to cling to
And the scriptures were created as inspiration to sing to
And Jesus was created so we understand what Kings do
And Adam and Eve were created so we understand what flings do
And the betrayal of the disciples was to learn how trust can sting you
And politics are intertwined so society can left or right wing you
And being faithful to the seasons will summer, fall, winter, then spring you
And listening to your heart is listening to what God will bring you
