remove the veil
from your eyes
in your dreams
do you hear
all those children's cries
can you see
the harm we've done
so much hurt and pain
for everyone
when you wake
quaff a quenching drink
from that moral sacred spring
that good God did make
if you secretly think
the stars won't shine
without those visions
things we hold dearly
in our shrouded minds
would we ever see
what is real truth
what is clarity and honesty
clearly here grows the tree
tattooed with all our history
beneath thick bark
continuance of this connective story
under the failing stars
an atmosphere of both disgrace and glory
beneath the wondrous sky
where we all falter and still wander
see how we have tried
even the sea once parted
because so many cried
as we kneel and ponder
even kings bend and kneel down
ruling over a vast and broken ground
remove the token veil
covering your blinded eyes
reminding you in your dreams
perhaps you'll finally see and hear
sweet innocence and children's cries
turn to laughter and to joy
if an angel finds you
be sure to closely listen
when the morbid devil calls you
kneel and pray under every condition
when there is no fruit left
on the sacred tree
once the roots have all rotted away
when our dreams leave us bereft
when we can't see neither you nor me
let your angel chop down the tree
carry it in pieces far away
when we have all gone blind
and just won't see
that the veil covering our eyes
something God wants us
to strip away
in the end
everyone wants
to be saved
but there are
standing at the entrance
to ancient blessed caves
no restive saviours
even if we aren't depraved
we can't save ourselves
all those misguided ways
people have behaved
earthly riches and money can't save you
your soul is still God's alone
only kindness and love
will allow us to atone
if you think your goal is pure
how can one ever be sure
like birds in the sacred sky
if only we could learn to fly
then perhaps as life goes on
we'd find that this life
would be easier to endure
still even more
perhaps one day
we'd learn to truly soar
when you lay down and die
perhaps your angel
will be there to care
when you leave this body
perhaps you shall see
spirit still lingers there
perhaps you'll find
God does truly care
so when life here is finished
creation won't be diminished
once every veil has been removed
once we see the way is clear
of misguided pain and hurt and strife
perhaps our dreams will come true
perhaps people will finally see a better life
having gained a stronger loving view
