The Revelation

From the middle of a dream,
 I woke to find
A light bulb burning in my mind
The answers were there that I’d been searching for
And I knew that tomorrow would be just fine
Tomorrow would be just fine

And now since I woke,
 I stare at the mirror
The revelation comes flashing back, 
But it’s foggy and not so clear
I try to do rewind and playback to find,
 the revelation, hidden in my mind  

There was a certain conversation,
 about saving my salvation
But the application,
 got lost in the translation of my mind 
Maybe I should try some meditation,
 to bring back the revelation
Because the restoration of my own salvation
is hanging on the line 
hmmmm- damn what was the revelation

Yes, my world is split in two
One on the left and one on the right
And I’m straddling both sides, like a 3-legged fool
Life and exaltation are what I’m tryin’ to fix
But the only thing I find,
The resurrection of the revelation, 
is taking it’s sweet time

There was a certain conversation,
 about saving my salvation
But the application,
 got lost in the translation of my mind 
Maybe I should try some meditation,
 to bring back the revelation
Because the restoration of my own salvation
is hanging on the line 
hmmmm- damn what was the revelation

Well, the duration of my day,
will not be spent in any exciting way
But instead in a quiet desperation,
of the subliminal exploration
In hope and anticipation, that through divine inspiration
I’ll receive instructions on how to remember,
The revelation 

There was a certain conversation,
About saving my salvation
I guess I’ll send an invitaion,
For another revelation
Cuz it’s my own salvation,
That’s hanging on the line
It’s hanging on the line
