It Starts Here

Don’t ask me when the kingdom’s coming
Children, it’s coming now.
We never know the wherefore
We never know the how
Spirit comes when we’re all connected
Spirit comes when we least expect it
Imagine a world where God appears
Listen to me, children. It starts here.

Imagine a world where
the lion lays down with the lamb
A world where the trees stand up and clap their hands
Imagine a world where the trumpet sounds
Then all the walls fall down
Imagine a world where God appears
Sing it with me, children. It starts here.

Imagine a room where
the wind ignites a change
The dove descends and love bursts into flame.
Imagine a valley where the bones arise
And say I want to be baptized.
Imagine a world where God appears
Listen to me children
Sing it with me, children. It starts here.
