The Hands of Creation.~
If only I could sleep
The dreams I would reap
I would stand
On the sands
Of the Gobi!
And look out on nobody
And I would see the dawn of man
And the coming light of the Lamb
Walk with the Gods of Greece
Talk to the Hindu Priests
Fight great wars in the east
Light great firers of peace
And I would
If I could
Make love in the Indian Sun
See the beauty as the Ganges run
Feel the beauty and motion
Of the Indian Ocean
I would dance
And romance
Those Japanese Girls!
With those eyes like black pearls,
And then I would head for home
To see the glory of Rome
Fall at the face of the hoards
Like the tears of our Lord
And I’ll see
I would be
Sleeping in slumber and peace,
See the splendour that was Greece
Standing like an endless rhyme
Beyond the hands of time
But then to see a sad crime
Of the great Aryan race
Stumble and fall in disgrace.
Within stillness
I would feel this
Oneness of creation
That needs no explanation,
If only I could sleep
The dreams I would reap
I would stand
On the sands
Of the Gobi!
And look out on nobody
And I would see the dawn of man
And the coming light of the Lamb
Walk with the Gods of Greece
Talk to the Hindu Priests
Fight great wars in the east
Light great firers of peace
And I would
If I could
Make love in the Indian Sun
See the beauty as the Ganges run
Feel the beauty and motion
Of the Indian Ocean
I would dance
And romance
Those Japanese Girls!
With those eyes like black pearls,
And then I would head for home
To see the glory of Rome
Fall at the face of the hoards
Like the tears of our Lord
And I’ll see
I would be
Sleeping in slumber and peace,
See the splendour that was Greece
Standing like an endless rhyme
Beyond the hands of time
But then to see a sad crime
Of the great Aryan race
Stumble and fall in disgrace.
Within stillness
I would feel this
Oneness of creation
That needs no explanation,
If only I could sleep
The dreams I would keep.
