World to Come

I'm sitting by a lake

But it's not of this earth

The water is so clear

And the birds are alive

A mirror for the sky

They see themselves

And fly away

I'm sitting by a lake

The universe is alive

I lay down by the river-flow

It's a river of stars

I'm living by the ocean

It's an ocean of light

How do you call

This place around us

It's a world that I once saw

In a dream

Will you please tell me now

If I'm dead or alive

Landscapes so bright

All around

It's a city of light

Where who when and why?

I think therefore I am

I feel like I know this land

But it must be so far away...

This world is life

This "clouds-and-wonders"

Is all I need

And it will never go

You say it's lost

I don't believe it

This is my vision

We can never know

This is the earth

But ages after

I know the world

Will overcome its' pain

The simple fact

I dream about it

Already makes it

Happen in the rain

It's right in front

But you don't face it

I'm dedicated

All my life in me

And made of light

Our sun is growing

Like in the heart of some of us

I pray

And other lands

You will discover

This form of life

Is not the only one

I was a child

And I just knew it

And know I know

The vision came alive
