Kansas - Distant Vision lyrics

On a night as I lay sleeping, in a dream I saw the shore of a distant land where Promise lay in wait And I heard the sound of voices of a million hungry souls Now it comes to me to lead them to the gate But I am just a man, not worthy of this plan With a strength that's not my own, I must rise And I...will bear the light, (and the vision leads me onward) That blind....men have their sight I'd sail a thousand seas to make it so To the Kings I gave the mission, in the hope that they would share In the joy of setting countless captives free But the lust for Gold and power, is luring us away From a calling that began in purity And 'm still just a man, not worthy of this plan With a strength that's not my own, I must rise Now a tempest rages in my heart, as this fever furies on Soon these islands promise rest and hope, my answers wait beyond their shore Dream on... Hungry eyes are standing on the sand, they beckon us to bring the tide Sovereign hand must hold me now, I plead with you Be my solace and my guide... by my side And I...will walk with you On the shores of the land ofpromise That blind... men see you too I'd sail a thousand seas to make it so
