| 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 |
