Power

If men were gods Then horses will fly If men were gods Then no one will die To mold the destinies of many With a wand in my hand And turn a swarm of bees To a matching band To live a thousand years in the eyes of the mortals And a second in the presence of his fellow immortals I wish I could command the obedience of nature And have the gift of seeing through the future I wish I could command the winds to stop And I say to Lazarus Hey you get up I wish I could save the lives of many children And be the shining light of all my brethren I wish I could hold the stars in my hands And fly on a magic carpet To distant lands I wish the world belongs to me So that I could foretell What will be In history Like a Leprechaun I hold a pot of gold Which I shall give to that man who is bold I wish my voice was as powerful As thunder And aeroplanes would clash as the sight of this wonder I wish I could project my power To the world with a spell And turn incalcitrant nations To a living hell With fireballs and brimstones raining From the heavens like cats and dogs And insects jumping around the fields like toads and frogs And if my power was meant for only good And I vow not to abuse it Understood And angels would bow at my feet Crushing my foes bit by bit With laser beams Blazing through my eyes As I lift off the ground To the evening skies
