O God please open up my eyes,
To look upon this fragile place
Her oceans and her cloudless skies:
-Thou seest not yet,- my God replies,
-Shed tears for all thy past disgrace.-
O God please open up my eyes:
-Oh spare the Earth thy piteous cries
Those burning tears which seek to trace
Her oceans and her cloudless skies-
I sought the planet as my prize
Oh let me see thy caring face
O God please open up my eyes!
-The starlight flickers down: it dies
There will be darkness o'er this space
Her oceans and her cloudless skies-
The fabric rots, the knot unties
No succour, nor celestial grace
O God please open up my eyes....
Dead oceans and fast clouded skies.
