Colors of everlasting light
Lift before me like a bird in flight
Across the fields they flash their wings of every kind
To stir my soul from slumber
Will she come before us dressed like Spring in green?
Will she laugh and disappear as in a dream
Or like a queen unfold her arms and all her songs
Along that silver stream of colors
Chorus: And now I walk right into the river of madness
And I go right into the chambers of sadness
And one by one begin to pull the pillars down
All these people, now—of what are they afraid?
All these demons--can they not see they, themselves, have made
Obsessed with shadows flickering across the walls inside their cave
Will she come before us crashing like a storm
Will she flash her anger
Then suddenly rising like the morning sun
The old days are done. The new ones begun
And our ways have won
Give to me the everlasting light
Hold these colors in my sight
