Something Wonderful 2

There’s a small blue world
There’s a small blue world
Circling a yellow star
Circling a yellow star
Far-flung on the galaxy’s Orion arm.
Far-flung on the galaxy’s Orion arm.
‘Tis there a million exiled poets dwell
‘Tis there a million exiled poets dwell
And thence ten thousand songs resound
And thence ten thousand songs resound
To the sound of a planet dreaming.
To the sound of a planet dreaming.
It dreams of heaven and of hell
It dreams of heaven and of hell
And all points in between
And all points in between
But if you listen well you’ll hear
But if you listen well you’ll hear
A billion heart-strings hum
A billion heart-strings hum
The way that strummed harps sing.
The way that strummed harps sing.
They tell of love and hope ne'er ending
They tell of love and hope ne'er ending
Of spirit perpetually transcending
Of spirit perpetually transcending
The cloy and snare of mundane things.
The cloy and snare of mundane things.
The message of surrender’s writ
The message of surrender’s writ
Like forlorn whispers in the beaten sand
Like forlorn whispers in the beaten sand
Where the deep sea breakers timeless fell,
Where the deep sea breakers timeless fell,
Yet o’er the swells the sea gull’s cry foretells:
Yet o’er the swells the sea gull’s cry foretells:
Something wonderful is coming.
Something wonderful is coming.
