Written by bob welch.         He had all the rivers, under his power   He had all the mountains, under his command   You know that he had all the cities, in his own two hands   Yes and he had control of the four winds   And of the hunger of starving man   And now we're passing on the reins   Cause in my heart I can feel the change   You know the lord of light is laughing   Cause things don't stay the same, revelation   Revelation      He controlled the brimstone, and eternal fire   Surrounds himself with downers, in the king of cold   You know that he had all the princes kissing his diamond ring   And I heard that he walled up, the door to summer   And cut the heart out of mister spring   And now we're passing on the reins   And in your heart you can feel a change   You know the lord of light is laughing   Cause things don't stay the same, revelation   Revelation      Dream on, keep your eyes wide open...      On a sunday morning, with a voice that's cold   The future gives a warning of the fire that burns below   He puts his hands together, cause his faith is strong   And that's what you've been needing   Oh but it don't seem to last too long   Cause now we're passing on the reins   And in your heart you can feel a change   You know the lord of light is laughing   Cause things don't stay the same, revelation   Revelation
