Kathy Mar - Childhood's End lyrics

Chorus: I'll look upon the face of God And through a billion eyes And take the planet of my birth Beyond the endless skies And sing the universal song Above the reach of right and wrong And find the devil is my friend When I have come to childhood's end They touched our world and changed our bloody history They gave us peace and always dwelt in mystery They eased the hunger of the endless realms of men And taught us how to love each other once again They promised they would walk among us on the day When all their ministrations had prepared the way And when the work was done and fifty years had pa**ed They left their ships to show themselves to us at last Chorus The horns and wings and tails no longer brought us fear Our minds were now unclouded and our eyes were clear No longer would we judge things for the way they seem And on that day the children would begin to dream The dreamers were the promise of a new mankind They soon would touch the universal overmind And as they pondered what that touch would someday bring In all our thoughts their hopes would brightly dance and sing Chorus The devils were the guardians of our infant earth They supervised the circumstances of our birth In loneliness they cross the seas of stars alone And never share the song that calls us all back home
