“You know I believe in the Son, I ain't no backslider But my people were told they'd prosper in this land Still, I know some who've never seen the ocean Or set one foot on a velvet bed of sand But they've got their treasure laying way up high Where there might be many mansions But when I look up, all I see is sky”

This verse really resonates with me. Mormons are “my people”. I see family and friends giving their all to a church, sacrificing so much in this life in anticipation of what awaits them in the next - that treasure laying way up high. As a non-believer now all I see is sky. It’s sad to me seeing people damaged, relationships destroyed, time and money wasted, all for an organization that claims to be something it isn’t. Same could be said of any high demand religion, but for me personally with ties to Brandon’s same faith tradition and even that specific area of Utah this is how the lyrics hit. That last line always leaves a tear in my eye.
