G D
Oh the way to God is always up,
C G
But you might be up-side-down.
G D
That's why his beatific smile
C D
Appears to you a frown.
C D G
You've almost reached the surface,
Am D
But you stop for fear you'll drown.
G D
:| Oh the way to God is always up,
C G
But you might be upside down. |:

G D
Oh the way to God is always in,
C G
But you might be in-side-out.
G D
That's why his reassurances
C D
Induce in you such doubt.
C D G
The still small voice you can't quite hear
Am D
Is God's tremendous SHOUT!
G D
:| Oh the way to God is always in,
C G
But you might be inside out. |:

G D
Oh it takes a million years to know
C G
The One Who Lives Within.
G D
You reach the shores of Paradise
C D
On the day that you begin.
C D G
A billion perfect worlds dance on
Am D
The apex of a pin.

G D
The way to God is yours to choose,
C G
Don't let your will be weak.
G D
'Cause then, despite His brilliant light,
C D
Your outlook will stay bleak.
C D G
You'll sail on holy waters,
Am D
But you'll think you're up a creek.
G D
:| The way to God is yours to choose,
C G
Don't let your will be weak. |:
5. [SING FAST!]
G D
Oh the way to heaven is always leavened
C G
With love and peace of mind.
G D
And I heard a rumor if you don't have humor
C D
That you might get left behind.
C D G
Maybe you really don't see it, or
Am D
You're just choosing to be blind,
G D
:| But the way to heaven is always leavened
C G
With love and peace of mind. |: [Repeat 1st verse]If you have a MIDI player (and you really ought to), check out 
the tune — my very first MIDI creation. It's a short (less than 1K, about 26 seconds) single-voice, single-note composition, just to give you the basic idea of the tune.
the tune — my very first MIDI creation. It's a short (less than 1K, about 26 seconds) single-voice, single-note composition, just to give you the basic idea of the tune.
1997 Jan 30: An expanded version of the MIDI tune (~2.5K, 26 sec), adding some more instruments, just for fun. Full-scale orchestration with lead vocal and background chorus will come later….
2001 Nov 26: An even more expanded version of the MIDI tune (~14K, 2:26), all verses, adding many more instruments, and having much more fun. This MIDI was previously only available on the no-longer-unavailable (and now-obsolete) UB Comix diskette. Still haven't actually recorded the song itself yet&hellp;.

C Am C
I just read an interview
C Am C
with a couple of people who
G
had died and returned
and told what they learned
C
when given their living anew.
2. The article pointed out that people who carried doubt before they came back they saw only black and nothingness all about.
3. On the other hand, it's odd, the one who had faith in God saw a beautiful sight and to our delight saw a home beyond the bod.
4. Those of you who haven't died, you can take the holy ride. For eternal relief hang onto belief. You can reach the other side.
5. Being moral all your life, even kind and even nice, if you don't want to know, if you don't want to go, you will never reach Paradise.
6. You can say what we want we see, which is how it turns out to be. So, for people who care, please be heaven-aware, You can dance up there with me.

Santa, dear friends,
does not wear a red suit
fringed with white fur,
and black boots
and a broad black belt.
does not wear a red suit
fringed with white fur,
and black boots
and a broad black belt.
Not every night of the year.
Don't cry.
You're old enough to understand now.
He doesn't live at the North Pole —
although your heart's compass
points to him.
He lands on your rooftop
with seven tiny mind-spirits
and climbs down
the chimney of your dreams
and leaves his gifts
in your desire
to make children happy.
Not just with
an exchange of loot,
but with the joyous anticipation of
that oneness of sharing
which we all can represent
to each other.
The proof of Santa's quickness
is that no one ever catches him.
The proof of Santa's wisdom
is that all who find him
are better
for having known him.
His gifts are perfect.
I don't have to get
run over by his sleigh
to know the old elf is real.
He is real
in the hearts
of those who truly love him,
and through
his loving spirit's guiding,
our minds are his,
our hands his tinkers,
and so
does he visit
throughout the world
overnight.
Santa is real in spirit,
and his spirit
is spreading
because his real love,
his generous spirit —
beyond all
commerciality
and greed
and hype
. . .
is positively infectious.

The city of Dalamatia,

long forgotten, dead and cold,

Which should be standing yet today,

with Daligastia's nod
Cm Db
To teach the Prince was all-supreme,
{Eb Fm E Eb D Db Cm }
{that Caligastia's God.}

One hundred sixty-two years later

came a tidal wave

flowed into its wat'ry grave

to have almost every vestige of

his plan obliterated.
