Stepping up to voice
My choice
To let it go
The flow
Is beyond control
So when you fall
Roll
Then rise
Open your eyes
See the fresh horizon
Great eastern sun risin’
Resplendent
Transcendent
Heaven sent
An extension
To the new dimension
The fourth perspective
Reflective
Of the so far unseen
Subtle being
The place from which Gandalf and Arthur ride
Where secret valleys hide
Where Isaiah spoke messiah
The second coming is the inner fire
Walkin’ the wire
To paradise lost in the frost
It’s the time of the great turning
Great burning
Great thaw I am sure
The final unmasking
Now I’m askin’:
What if it’s been there all along?
And we just never switched it on?
Shangri La is not far
Shambhala, Camelot glory
The Atlantis story
Dante’s peak of mount purgatory
The new birth of heaven here on earth
The Ultimate wave to surf
The place of shift
Where we all uplift
Into the fourth dimension
Paradise is not hidden in the ice
It’s here
Beyond the fear
The next tier
The fog begins to clear
To reveal
A divine seal
As we fall,
Roll and rise waking up to the higher call
Open our eyes to the stars
Walk through the mirage
Onto solid ground
Paradise found.
What if it’s been there all along?
And we just never switched it on?
Paradise found
Heroes abound
Sensing the future with sonar sound
Cutting the path
Being the pavers
Removing the layers
Of deception
Perception
Peeling back reality
To the feelin’ inside of me
Of future generations calling us on
The wind in the sails of a ship in a storm
Life momentum
Never endin’
Waves from behind
Echoes in mind
Nagging unease
This itchin’ ain’t fleas
It’s the future coming in on the breeze.
What if it’s been there all along?
And we just never switched it on
The field beyond right and wrong
That’s where we belong
That’s where we been all along
I ain’t no car salesman
This ain’t no con
It’s a revelation
In every nation
On every station
Since creation
Just switch it on
