My new, reggae version:

The lyrics are included below:
The lyrics of my song are based on a very common theme in folk music, which comes from the Bible: When we die, we enter the gate of heaven (or the Pearly Gate). There we are judged by our deeds, by our Book of Life.
The melody has also influences from Creek folk music and I arranged it in Reaggae rhythm, so it's real World Music.
I sing (in Finnish) and play the guitars as well as virtual cathedral organ by Spitfire.
I produced this at my home with Band in a Box and Reaper.
Translation:
Some have a lot of money / Hidden in their fat wallet / But when we once leave to the other world / We have to travel with an empty wallet
Others have fancy clothes / Stylish, like in a fashion catalogue /
But when we once leave to the other world / Even the fanciest clothes are undressed
You can't take your money to the heaven / You have to go that road with empty pockets / When we once finally reach the gate of heaven /
Our bag of sins is weighed / We are judged by our Book of Life
