REVELATION

I am looking at the lighthouse from the coast
The wet solid sand under my feet
And the sky, so dark!
No stars tonight; they all have faded out
’cause I’ve come here, and I’m ready!

I can see the light spinning in the distance.
It’s so bright! A ray of fire from a twinkling eye
I can hear the sea hushing its lullaby, putting all life to sleep
’cause I’ve come this far, and I’m determined!

Yes! I have the golden sign on my head
and the power of the wind in my hands.
I must command on the waves tonight
and walk on the waters till I reach the light
’cause I am here, and it’s time!

Can’t you see that I’m an angel?
Did you truly believe my human outfit was real?
So… you’ve never noticed my wings?
But, didn’t you wonder why I sensed so much,
knew so much, saw so much,
loved so much, cared so much?
Didn’t you wonder why
all the hatred of the world hurt me so much?

Well, then I must tell you, I am an angel
And I’ve come this far, to this sea
’cause I must walk on the waves tonight
and get to that lighthouse.
I must take that light and bring it back to this land
to flare it in the eyes of all those
who now need to wake up!
