Chorus: I'll look upon the face of God
|
And through a billion eyes
|
And take the planet of my birth
|
Beyond the endless skies
|
And sing the universal song
|
Above the reach of right and wrong
|
And find the devil is my friend
|
When I have come to childhood's end
|
|
They touched our world and changed our bloody history
|
They gave us peace and always dwelt in mystery
|
They eased the hunger of the endless realms of men
|
And taught us how to love each other once again
|
|
They promised they would walk among us on the day
|
When all their ministrations had prepared the way
|
And when the work was done and fifty years had passed
|
They left their ships to show themselves to us at last
|
|
Chorus
|
|
The horns and wings and tails no longer brought us fear
|
Our minds were now unclouded and our eyes were clear
|
No longer would we judge things for the way they seem
|
And on that day the children would begin to dream
|
|
The dreamers were the promise of a new mankind
|
They soon would touch the universal overmind
|
And as they pondered what that touch would someday bring
|
In all our thoughts their hopes would brightly dance and sing
|
|
Chorus
|
|
The devils were the guardians of our infant earth
|
They supervised the circumstances of our birth
|
In loneliness they cross the seas of stars alone
|
And never share the song that calls us all back home
|
