You can go much further with the spiritual.

Now I've been crying lately, Thinking about the world as it is. Why must we go on hating? Why can't we live in bliss?

Now I'm not making love to anyone's wishes, Only for that light I see 'Cause when I'm dead and lowered low in my grave, That's gonna be the only thing that's left of me.

I was brought up in the modern world of all the luxury and the highlight of show business. I was born into a Christian home.
