praise god, for it was written in numbers

Soon you'll know of the great joy we feel

Today day to be able to speak freely

And talk eye to eye

With a small group of americans

We feel that the time has come

For your nation to awaken

To its true spiritual import

And we wish you everything in our power

To that realization



Four mourning doves searching in the park

Saying don't be confused when the night is dark

Eleven white swans swimming in a black lake

Told me keep it real and you'll find who's fake

Two cedar trees half submerged in the water

Don't prophesize about sons and daughters

One new master of the form tai chi

Friends of the accuser and the accusee

One pimp using songs as his hussy

Won't be here next year to tell you 'bout nothing

Two happy kids playing basketball

Til a war broke out and killed them all

A bunch of ideas like fireflies

An eighteen-year-old girl with stars in her eyes

We saw the gentle trickster on the highway tonight

Keep your mouth closed and your eyes open wide



Though the roof may leak in many places

Shining faces shining faces

May she sleep in peace

And wake up in my arms

Some day soon some day soon

Some day soon some day soon



The separation from unity

Is the descent of the angels upon the ladder of consciousness

The return to unity is the ascent of the angels upon the ladder

The descent is good

But the unity that comes is expressed diversity

But in diversity there would be no concept of separation



Those that were numbered

Had a path to follow

Fly as swift as the swallow

Where no enemies can follow

The path that was laid for the righteous man

Don't promote the fool

Claiming he's the wisest man

As they slander our name in shame

When our aim is to do what comes natural

We're hatchin' the fireflies on a river

Feelin' straght from my toes, knees, kidneys to my liver

Clouds drop down the dew

My friends what about you

Clouds drop down the dew

My friends what about you



Though the roof may leak in many places

Shining faces shining faces

May she sleep in peace

And wake up in my arms

Some day soon some day soon

Some day soon some day soon

Though the roof may leak in many places

Shining faces shining faces

May she sleep in peace

And wake up in my arms

Some day soon some day soon

Some day soon some day soon
