                           We Will Build a Heaven Here on Earth

                               A Hymn of the Enlightenment

We will build a heaven here on earth
A world of peace, prosperity, and love
Where all may live in well-ordered harmony
In a land of rational fellowship

We will build a heaven here on earth
The Enlightenment will teach us how
To shape with science the former Creation
Rendering it into numbers, lines, and facts

We will build a heaven here on earth
No matter how many millions we must ****
To make it so
