I dreamed i saw - Calvin Russell

In the early, early morning

I Dreamed I Saw

This great city shinin'

With silver and gold

Thousands of birds were flying

And rivers like ribbons

Unrolled

Behind it this million mile rainbow

Like the promise that will

Never die

And a choir that must have numbered

Over ten-thousand

Their voices went clear through

The sky

But then suddenly it happened

And a crack in the ground

Opened wide

Dark clouds covered

The daylight

And the air was a poisonous

Tide

And that

City fell down

Before my eyes

I was over almost when it started

Where beauty was nothin' remained

I fell to my knees in my own self-pity

My tears in the dust

Traced a stain

I wept there where no one could hear me

I cried out «Who would have sealed

My doom»

When suddenly right there

Where my tear-drops had fallen

The great miracle of life

Made a small flower bloom
