"The New Earth"

"The New Earth"

There within a dream I see
A Garden of Eden
Being the ever green earth
The rose of Sharon
Covering the valley of hills
God’s gift to man -
His voice a warning sign
Love the earth
That you may live in peace
Without the wars
Blasting the atom bombs
Dust to fragments
The petrified trees to stone
Dark the sun -
The earth bubbling to death
Steaming in the clouds
Never more for man to live
And plough the fields
Sowing seeds to feed a nation -
Where to now
To hang my head and cry
Seeing the willow
Buried in the river dry
The thirst in me
My epitaph to die alone -
A soul searching
Sailing with the wind
Will the sun rise
And celebrate our planet
Once so green -
God’s own Garden of Eden
Shining brightly
Below the dome of the moon
Where heaven waits
The new Earth forever more.
