Beyond the Horizon

BEYOND THE HORIZON Beyond the horizon, three oceans meet the sky, It is the land of plenty; you cannot travel in a day, It is wider than the man’s vision and has no end. Beyond the horizon, there is peace of mind, Crime, violence and death are no more, The former things have passed away, No more tears, mourning, cry or pain! Beyond the horizon, in the middle of rivers Pishon, Tigris and Euphrates, The earth and other planets revolve around the sun and their moons, All forms of sicknesses have passed away, The lame stand up, walk, run and dance, The deaf hear the joyous sounds around them, The blind enjoy the world of colour In addition, see the faces of their loved ones for the very first time! Beyond the horizon, I see water rising above the oceans, We have become strong and healthy, all young and energetic, No more eye glasses, no more crutches and walking canes, No more medicine, no more dental clinics or hospitals, The ravages of aging have been reversed. Beyond the horizon, never again will emotional illnesses And depression rob people of their happiness! Beyond the horizon, even though we speak in different tongues We have become one big family with no barriers to unity and brotherhood, I see seven continents merging and fusing together, Humans are at peace with animals, Cats and dogs have forgiven each other, Wolves and lambs, lions and buffaloes, jackals and goats feed together, And all our domestic animals are totally safe! Beyond the horizon, bright shining and filled with vigour, Mankind have awaken to a new day of vibrant life and renewed energy, For they will learn not war anymore, but the ever-lasting peace. They have turned their destructive weapons into ploughshares, And never again will the tranquillity of the world be disrupted by cruel people! Mankind have been taught to treat each other with love, respect and dignity, And they have shed their violent traits and have become peaceful forever! Beyond the horizon, in the wonderful garden, Even a little child has nothing to fear from wild animals Behold, he dances with lions and bears, As he rolls the mamba around his neck! Look over there, the young woman talks to a puff adder and it listens! No one’s home will have to be locked to keep thieves out,. Peace have reigned in every heart and in every house, What a peace our new world that is! Look at us from a distance, beyond the horizon, Somewhere where the rainbow ends, way up high, There in the vineyard, where the rosy sun drips over Sun Valley, God himself is with humankind, Look, He is wiping off every tear from our faces! We have come a long, long way and have worked hard to come to this paradise, We will be a silly so and so if we should ever let this beautiful!
