This New Eden

If e`er the human race should die And I then stood alone I`d raise my eyes up to the sun And take him as my own For he would be my guiding star To lead me through each day Upon my quest to change the world His light to show the way The moon would be my lantern bright The caves my dwelling be The amber sand my carpet soft The trees my canopy For as sole guardian of this earth I`d wander far afield In search of all to be transformed Each blemish thus revealed And through this wondrous alchemy This world would yet be changed Each imperfection classified And deftly rearranged Then with my heart I`d sow the seeds Of Paradise anew With each one fashioned out of love So perfect, pure and true Each leaf, each bloom, so beautiful Unveiled for all to see (But hidden deep where none could find I`d set the apple tree) And every creature large and small Would roam this glorious land Released from pain and suffering To stand at man`s right hand This earth would hence become the place Where joy would reign supreme No guns, no bombs, no tears, no hate, This is my greatest dream And then a rainbow I would steal Her colours soft and pure To carefully delineate Humanity once more And paint the seas with emerald green The skies with sapphire blue Earth`s beauty thus to redefine Then give her back to you Then I, unworthy yet to dwell In this new Eden born Would slumber long in deep repose Awaiting man`s new dawn And whilst asleep, my one desire That when our time is here Each one would live in innocence And happiness, not fear For every heart would beat in time The sweetest symphony Each breath, each touch, each spoken word In perfect harmony. (May love, sweet love, forever grow Her seeds may all forever sow)
