Underneath the mask of the sulphur sky   A bunch of us were busy waiting   Watching the people looking ill-at-ease   Watching the fraying rope get closer to breaking      Women and men moved back and forth   In between effect and cause   And just beyond the range of normal sight   This glittering joker was dancing in the dragon's jaws      Let me be a little of Your breath   Moving over the face of the deep   I want to be a particle of Your light   Flowing over the hills of morning      The only sign You gave of who You were   When You first came walking down the road   Was the way the dust motes danced around   Your feet in a cloud of gold      But everything you see's not the way it seems   Tears can sing and joy shed tears   You can take the wisdom of this world   And give it to the ones who think it all ends here
