| Lyrics |
I was visited by The Power and The Glory
I was visited by a majestic hymn
Great bolts of lightninglightning up the sky
Electricity flowing through my veins
I was captured by a larger moment
I was seized by divinity's hot breath
Gorged like a lion on experience
Powerful from life
I wanted all of it -
Not some of it
I saw a man turn into a bird
I saw a bird turn into a tiger
I saw a man hang from a cliff by the tips of his toesin the jungles of the Amazon
I saw a man put a red hot needle through his eyeturn into a crow and fly through the treesswallows hot coals and breathe out flamesand I wanted this to happen to me
We saw the moon vanish into his pocket
We saw the stars disappear from sight
We saw him walk across water into the sunwhile bathed in eternal light
We spewed out questions waiting for answerscreating legends, religions and myths
Books, stories, movies and playsall trying to explain this
I saw a great man turn into a little child
The cancer reduced him to dust
His voice growing weak as he fought for his lifewith a bravery few men know
I saw isotopes introduced into his lungstrying to stop the cancerous spread
And it made me think of Leda and The Swanand gold being made from lead
The same power that burned Hiroshimacausing three legged babies and death
Shrunk to the size of a nickelto help him regain his breath
And I was struck by The Power and The Glory
I was visited by a majestic Him
Great bolts of lightning lighting up the skyas the radiation flowed through him
He wanted all of it
Not some of it
