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 facade
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
