It's a beautiful dream beckoning
where the poor and the hungry-
fed, clothed, filled
find favor, inheritance
Where justice pours out like mighty water
we drink- and grace- our cup runs over
This beautiful dream
where righteousness-
like air
hunger and thirst satisfied
The lamb and lion together lie down-
this beautiful dream-
all swords beat into plowshares-
nations and nations together in peace
It's a beautiful dream
And the earth is covered
covered
with the glory of God-
that's the dream
a revolution
It's beckoning-
this sleeping age
is being called,
oh open your eyes!
This dream, this revolution
is at hand
It's a beautiful dream beckoning
the earth covered-
with the glory of God
A voice in the desert cries out again-
the revolution is at hand
this beautiful
revolution

something...
Can you feel it?
Something's changing
There's music
and it's different
Have you seen it?
What we were
what we are
what we're becoming-
a vision of something different
Can you hear it?
Halting questions give way
to greater mystery-
questions stir for something different
Could it be...
He's the music
He's the vision
He's the great mystery
and we're seduced
beyond our will
we feel it-
we see it-
we hear it-
something's changing.
Wasn't longing
but now I feel it
wasn't listening
but now I hear it
wasn't dreaming
but now I see it
wasn't dreaming
but I woke up
Maybe you...
something's changing
something's different
can you...
can you...
something's changing
something's different

Seeking and Hiding...
I remember playing
as a little kid
hiding and seeking
seeking and hiding
and I'd find you-
but you couldn't find me.
Now I'm found here
like that little kid-
and I'm seeking,
God, I'm seeking
When I try to hide
you've already
found me
I hear you say
you've found me
But I'm still seeking
God, I'm seeking
I think I find you
but then you say
you've already found me
you've found me-
it's like you found me
hiding.
Maybe I found how
to hide
and wasn't really seeking.
