Sojourner

Raise the sails on the ship of lifeSet a course that will take you farOpen seas aren't hard to find,With some faith you can reach the starsRise above your troubled selfAnd you'll be surprised at what you findInner peace in the realms of lightAs the mortal world is left behindDistant worlds where I long to beWith just a thought I'm almost thereSailing high upon the starlightSkimming clouds without a careSojourner...Darkness fades when I think of lightThe power rests in what's behind your eyesDeceitful men aren't hard to find,They haven't faith so they preach their liesRise above these foolish wretchesSee them cower as they burn your fleshAnd though the flames are rising highThe curse is on him who cried out witchDistant worlds where I long to beWith just a thought I'm almost thereSailing high upon the starlightSkimming clouds without a careSojourner!Condemned for what he dared to teachThey labeled him a heathenYet ways of God he preachedStoned by all the men of hateAnd burned upon a crossTill darkness fills their stageThey cried the day he took his leaveThey begged for his return,For the light again they screamedSojourner!Oh, mother Earth, I beg of youRelease thy hate and I shall forgiveFor there is eternal loveAnd without this love you cannot liveI shall return upon the wind,The clouds shall be steps up to my doorOne day the door will open wideAnd you shall see that I have not died
