(Lyrics and music by James Seals & Dash Crofts, 1973)
|
Oh Ruby Jean, last night I dreamed I was runnin' somewhere beyond the stars.
|
I called out to you, and you answered softly.
|
You are the children's eyes, and I'm the days gone by.
|
Oh Ruby Jean, it doesn't seem like a long, long time, since we were born again.
|
Into the dazzling light, uniting black and white.
|
You are the rich brown earth, and I'm the flowers that grow.
|
|
We'll have children (Lua), of the Kingdom (Joshua).
|
They won't be torn by war, nor will they
|
Kill or hate, or hestitate, to love. Justice.
|
|
Oh Billie Lee, it's destiny that we meet again, here on this earthly plain.
|
I'll see all the worlds with you, but you'll have to help me through.
|
You are the straight and narrow path, and I'm the wayfayer.
|
Oh Billie Lee, we shall be free in the years to come, to help build the Promised Land.
|
We'll go where the day springs run, together and live as one.
|
He is the object of our longing, and we're His creation.
|
|
We'll have children (Lua), of the Kingdom (Joshua).
|
They won't be torn by war, nor will they
|
Kill or hate, or hestitate, to love. Justice.
