Holy Renaissance -

Silhouettes of darkened places 
Busy going nowhere so fast 
But you have to be somewhere at last 
Instant eyes microscopic  chocolate rice 
We now have synthetic blue ice
I believe we come a long way
Places, homes now building the day 
It took God 6 days to create the universe 
It took God 6 days to create the universe
HE too rested after all love these works 
Washed His hands of the dirt 
Somewhere I've read 
We are just filthy rags 
Lighted passenger I'm traveling in a twinkling of an eye beams of light shining bright 
Someone forgot to invite all the poor 
All the boys and girls 
Where they're going to eat and sleep tonight 
Hungry for Hunger sake
Wish they had a malted milkshake
I am not promised today 
But if I were a gambler I say 
But if I talked to my Father 
Be on the altar 
But if I talked to my Father be on the altar 
I'll be back with him instantly no not tomorrow
I'll be with him today I am with Him now even in my sorrow
