His Promise

And as I opened up the door
The sight which met my blood-shot eyes
A sight I'd never seen before
I was struck dumb and hypnotized

Colors flashing
Spirits passing
All before my cold and glassy eyes

As I walked through the open door
I witnessed sights I'd never seen
Cosmic ships afire on distant shore
Places I had never been

Lightning flashing
Spirits dancing
All before my cold and glassy eyes

As I stepped beyond the open door
I saw lands of promising
Experience of evermore
Just where He said that they would be

Colors flashing
Spirits passing
All before my cold and glassy eyes

And as the door closed from behind
I stood there on the opposite side
Lost in thought inside my mind
But was I ready for the ride

Lightning flashing
Spirits dancing
All before my cold and glassy eyes

I took a walk there out of time
To a land that time forgot
There was no reason or no rhyme
I finally found there what I'd sought

Colors flashing
Spirits passing
All before my cold and glassy eyes

A brave new world He promised me
All the wonders I would see
A land of life, love and beauty
All together and complete

Lightning flashing
Spirits dancing
All before my cold and glassy eyes
