On Elevated Ground

Last night I had another dream,
again at the edge of eternity
Looking down below at our world,
a new sight overwhelming me
If I could play God,
then I would create a different world

You call me a hero, but I'm only a man,
and I still bleed the same as you,
for you...who knew?
Sometimes when you see me smile, it's only a façade
Holding it in but crying so deep inside
I know I can never be
what you think you see, but I try
If I could play God, I would create a world...

Where tears become laughter
Where sadness is no more
Where peace conquers fear
Where sounds of war are silenced
Where feast will end famine
Where love will fill the world
Where summer skies are never gray
Where autumn leaves will never fall
Where we will live eternally

Here on elevated ground,
we walk through valleys of the shadows of life,
where love will be all and love will end all

Through utopian skies we pray
Over the cloudscape above the rain,
we can watch the world from miles away
