Vision Listen to MP3

Amassed in the clouds Were the planes Multicolored on their wings Was the thing A flash of light And they descended For all we know They bring us presents What if everybody saw the vision but me What if everyone had the same dream But not me Am I alone in the world of the future? A cold world with a spotlight A very crowded place

The masses fight For a glimpse of it The icon’s there In the midst of it Gold leaf curtains Surrounding it Holy treasure Make the most of it Lawyers fight For the rights to it Bankers will try To deposit it Politicians shout For the right of it Musicians play At its opening What if everybody saw the vision but me What if everyone had the same dream But not me Am I alone in a world not of my making? I feel so different So very out of phase

A perfect world I’ve been told of it Everybody’s happy They’ve decided it Get a room with a window In the midst of it Got no view to admire Is that the joke of it What if everybody saw the vision but me What if everyone had the same dream But not me Am I alone in a world overtaken? I find myself searching Where emptiness lies What if everybody saw the vision but me What if everyone had the same dream But not me But not me But not me But not me
