Sleek White Schooner |
| I dreamed I saw you sailing in |
| Upon a sleek white schooner |
| You were skimming over the shallow seas |
| Coming into harbour |
| Healing on your brow |
| In the hard, fateful, brand new |
| Twenty-first century |
| The cargo you were carrying |
| Was richer than riches |
| Golder than gold and yet more real than real |
| And the light that came a-flashing |
| From the new born babe in your arms |
| Was a pealing of thunder, a cannonball flying |
| A sun exploding, dawn in the heart of me |
| I stood there on the shoreline |
| Looking out over to sea |
| And I watched your white sail |
| Sparkling on the horizon |
| You were coming into harbour |
| Healing on your brow |
| In the hard, fateful, brand new |
| Twenty-first century |
