Someday

Someday, when the last god is dead

When the wind blows sand through the doors of time

When the last temple crumbles to nothingness –

Come with me, and I will show you

The things that shall be.

Someday

The imagination is lifted away

Into the vastness of wonder

We shall be what we can be

Glory lasting to eternity

We shall touch the last red star

We shall be the children of suns.

Someday

The tide of reason shall be unleashed

And wash away the fear of magic and the unknown

Forever, and it will be gone

The world can look back on itself and laugh,

Half-embarrassed, like a man

Looking back at his childhood toys.

Someday, when the fear of life is gone

Someday, when the chains are gone

Someday, when reason sits upon its throne

Then we will be free.

Someday

We will pass from darkness into the light

Of a thousand billion billion suns.

Someday we will be what we can be.

Someday.
