The Special Effects of Life

Maybe one day, everyone will walk on water 
Or turn water into wine 
Heal the sick. Turn back time 
Live in a world without war or fear 

Maybe one day, everyone will turn the other cheek 
Or wear each other's sandals, year after year 
Love one another. Help the weak 
Be the light in candles 

Maybe one day, everyone will know peace of mind 
Or make origami of the sublime 
All skins are kin, everyone wins! 
Can I hear an "Amen"? Or at the very least 
Can we all just try to get along 
And maybe be friends? 

Maybe one day, everyone will feel the holy spirit 
Or fill in the holes in the fabric of time 
Take a quantum leap of faith 
There's nothing better than the Kind 
The One who saves us from all the lying
