The Film Of Eternity
The Director says action, as the story begins
It
Emerson and Poe are working on the script
As Francis Scott Key writes the score from a ship.
Eastwood stands alone with a gun on the plains
As vicarious cowboys are feeling so mundane
Dylan weaves a tale about truth in the street
And Marco Polo rides toward Kubla Khan
Chorus:
What will your role be in The Film Of Eternity?
Will you change lives in the way you are perceived?
Will your part be something in which you do believe?
What will your role be in The Film Of Eternity?
In The Film Of Eternity?
Tears wet the pillows of the hungry child each night
As lives of the rich and famous are callused to their plight
Morality slips away one step at a time
It
The Holy Spirit hangs out, listening everywhere
As few seem to notice, few seem to care
Idolatry
As Solomon points out that it
Repeat Chorus:
The Search party hunts for Sir Walter Raleigh
and the missing settlers from the Lost Colony
Dorothy tells the Tin Man to look at the audience
It
Socrates
that leaders are so often not the most wise.
From givers and takers there
that make or break the moments that hinge all their hopes.
Repeat Chorus:
